Environmental service self-assessment
Identify whether you need LCA, EPD, footprint, CBAM, audit or a technical assessment.
Why it matters
Not every company needs the same thing first. The pressure may come from a European buyer (CBAM, EUDR), a tender requiring an EPD, a customer demanding a product footprint, or an audit. This self-assessment helps identify which environmental evidence to prepare first, based on your real situation.
Identify the pressure
Tell whether the trigger is regulatory (CBAM, EUDR), commercial (a customer or a tender) or compliance-driven (an audit or a permit).
Start with one data point
In most cases it pays to start with the carbon footprint — product or corporate — the basis for EPDs, CBAM and customer answers.
Avoid extra work
Preparing the wrong study costs time and money; the goal is the minimum data that unlocks your next sale or requirement.
