Value proposition
IRES: IRES is deeply engaged in sustainability and material innovation research providing our services to the latest cutting-edge technologies, including Nearly Zero Emission Buildings (NZEBs), Renewable Energy Systems, Additive Manufacturing, and Composites, giving us a unique advantage in delivering precise, industry-specific LCA-LCC insights.
EUT: has extensive experience and a proven track record in LCA, LCC, S-LCA, design for circularity and SSbD, providing robust, data-driven insights to support sustainable decision-making.
Environmental and social impact
S-LCA aligns with the EU’s Just Transition Mechanism and sustainable development policies by assessing the social and socio-economic impacts of materials and technologies across their supply chains. By identifying risks related to labor conditions, human rights, and community well-being, S-LCA enables responsible decision-making, enhances corporate social responsibility, and promotes fair and ethical industrial practices.
