Social Life Cycle Assessment in practice: Challenges and Future Development
Social Life Cycle Assessment methodology aims to assess the social impact generated by a product along its life cycle. The UNEP 2020 Guidelines , its reviewed Methodological Sheets (2021) and the first related nine pilot projects (2022) have re-kindled interest from industries to measure their social Footprint as well as Handprint. This is further supported by the launch of the EU Taxonomy Regulation 852/2020 (June 2020) and the report on the Social Taxonomy (2022) introducing minimum Safeguards and reporting requirements on social aspects for economic activities . Furthermore, we have the development of the ISO 14075 and other national initiatives such as the introduction of the Supply Chain Law in Germany. All of these initiatives drive industries towards implementing S-LCA and developing the methodology as well as addressing communication issues with a possible Social Product Declaration. The session will focus on future developments as well as related challenges.
