SUMMARY:nova Session: Challenges and Developments in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) (online)
DESCRIPTION:nova Session: Challenges and Developments in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) (online) \nHosts: Dr. Matthias Stratmann\, Ferdinand Kähler\, Niels de Beus\, and Dr. Ángel Puente (all nova-Institute)\n14:00 – 16:00 h (CET)\, online \nIn this upcoming nova-Session (6 November 2024\, 14-16h\, CET)\, we will provide not only a general introduction to Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) but also dive in the complexities and challenges surrounding its application. As LCA becomes an essential tool for evaluating the environmental impacts of products and processes\, procurement and sustainability professionals must understand how varying standards and data quality influence outcomes. \nThis session will explore specifically the use of supplier-specific data in LCAs\, but also Scope 3 emissions. We will present real-world examples demonstrating how standards affect results\, alongside best practices for ensuring high-quality and reliable LCA data. Special attention will be given to the role of renewable feedstocks\, Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU)\, mass balance approaches\, and electricity sourcing\, all of which significantly shape LCA results. \nParticipants will gain practical knowledge on navigating the complexities of LCA standards\, ensuring data consistency\, and leveraging supplier data to make informed decisions. This session is tailored for professionals looking to enhance their sustainability strategies and reduce their carbon footprints through informed LCA practices. \n  \nTopics: \n\nIntroduction to LCA: Importance for procurement and sustainability\nSupplier-specific data\nImpact of different LCA standards on results\nData quality\nKey factors influencing LCA: Renewable feedstocks\, CCU\, mass balance\, and electricity sourcing\nPractical case study from industry\n\nProgram: \n14:00–14:10 Welcome and Tour de Table\, Dr. Matthias Stratmann\, nova-Institute \n14:10–14:30 Introduction to Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)\, Dr. Matthias Stratmann\, nova-Institute \n\nOverview of LCA and its importance for sustainability and procurement\nRole of supplier-specific data in LCA\nCurrent industry efforts to facilitate data sharing\n\n14:30–14:40 Industry Perspective\, Nushin Behzadifar\, FKuR Kunststoff \n\nView from Industry: Problems\, Current Demands\, Challenges\n\n14:40–15:00 Different Standards\, Different Results (CASE STUDY 1)\, Ferdinand Kähler\, nova-Institute \n\n How different LCA methods impact LCA results\nCase examples: Comparing outcomes from different standards\n\n15:00–15:20 Quality of LCA Data (CASE STUDY 2)\, Niels de Beus\, nova-Institute \n\nCriteria for high-quality and reliable data\nBest practices for ensuring consistent LCA assessments\nFrom hot-spot analysis to peer-reviewed data\n\n15:20–15:40 Main Levers in Renewable Feedstocks\, Dr. Ángel Puente\, nova-Institute \n\nSystem boundaries in LCA\nThe role of Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU)\nMass balance\nThe impact of electricity sourcing on LCA outcomes\n\n15:40–16:00 Discussion & wrap-up\, Dr. Matthias Stratmann\, nova-Institute \nThis session offers valuable insights for professionals in procurement\, sustainability\, and supply chain management\, equipping them with knowledge on how to navigate the evolving landscape of LCA. \n

SUMMARY:FREE nova Webinar - Why Screening LCAs Matter: Insights You Can’t Automate
DESCRIPTION:29 January\, 14-14:45 h (CET)\, online \nKick off 2026 with a thought-provoking and practical session from the nova-Institute\, exploring how expert-guided screening LCAs can give you deeper\, faster\, and more actionable sustainability insights. \n“A screening LCA follows the Pareto principle. Experienced industry and LCA experts often know 80% of the results after 20% of the time. This is a very efficient use of budget and time.“ — Matthias Stratmann\, Head of Sustainability at nova-Institute. \n🎓 In this first session of a three-part webinar series\, you’ll discover:\n🔍 How screening LCAs differ from full LCAs and automated tools — and when to use which\n🤖 The key benefits and pitfalls of automation in life cycle assessment\n⚡ How a screening LCA can reveal your product’s true impact drivers in just days\, not weeks\n🧠 Insights from recent nova-Institute projects \nRegister for free at: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_t2r0naSvQtekO1T4cickbw#/registration \n

SUMMARY:FREE nova Webinar – Deriving Business Risk from Sustainability Assessments
DESCRIPTION:🌍 FREE nova Webinar | Deriving Business Risk from Sustainability Assessments \nHosts: Matthias Stratmann\, Ángel Puente\, Nadja Wulff (all nova-Institute) \nSustainability assessments generate more data than ever — but are they really supporting business decisions? \n📅 Thursday 12 February 2026\n⏰ 14:00 – 14:45 CET\n💡 Free of charge \n👉 Risk emerges when sustainability limits are exceeded\, uncertain\, or contested.\nAnd this risk doesn’t stay environmental — it quickly turns into: \n\nCompliance risk\nSupply chain disruption\nLoss of market access\nFinancial and stranded asset risk\n\nIn this webinar\, we go beyond classical LCA impact scores and explore how sustainability results can be translated into decision-relevant business risks\, across environmental\, social\, and governance dimensions. \nJoin us to learn how companies can move from impact reporting to risk-informed sustainability decision-making— and why this shift is becoming essential in a world of planetary boundaries\, tightening regulation\, and growing scrutiny. \n📍 Online registration: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_fNLgLGrlT8uSkrOuVknR1g \n  \n
