7. Life Cycle Assessment
Technique to assess environmental impacts associated with
all the stages of a product's life from-cradle-to-grave
Also known as
Life cycle analysis
Eco – balance
Cradle – to – grave analysis
Extraction and
production of
raw materials
Refining of
materials
Manufacturing Usage Operation,
Maintenance
Recycle & Deposit
15. ISO Standards on Carbon Management
International Standards Organization (ISO)
Environmental tools with the following characteristics:
Technically credible
Fulfills stakeholders needs
Facilitates the development of uniform requirements
Promotes efficiency
Supports regulation compliance
Enhances investor confidence
16. ISO 14001: Life – Cycle – Assessment (LCA)
Identifying and evaluating environmental aspects of
products and services from cradle to the grave (ISO 14004
complements)
ISO 14040: Principles and conduct of LCA studies that
information for reducing overall environmental impact
ISO 14064: Accounting and verification standards that sets
requirements to support GHG emission reduction
projects. (14065 complements 14064 by specifying
requirements to accredit or recognize organizational
bodies that undertake GHG validation or verification
using ISO 14064 or other relevant standards or
specifications. (14065 not yet provided)
17. Additional resources (not yet be published)
ISO 14045: Assessing eco-efficiency
ISO 14051: Establishing material flow cost accounting
ISO 14067: Quantifying carbon footprint of products to
harmonize methodologies and provide guidance for
communicating the carbon footprint information
ISO 14069: Calculating the carbon footprint
25. PAS 2050:2008
British reference
Assessment of the life cycle GHG emissions of goods and services
Publicly available specification which provides a consistent method
for assessing the life cycle GHG emissions of goods and services
Provides guidelines for
Assessing life cycle GHG emissions of goods and services
Evaluating alternative product configurations, sourcing and
manufacturing methods, raw material choices and supplier selection for
life cycle GHG emissions associated with goods and services
Setting a benchmark for ongoing programmers aimed at reducing GHG
emissions
Comparing goods or services using a common, recognized and
standardized approach to life cycle GHG emissions assessment
Reporting on corporate responsibility.
Now is used in Taiwan (Once ISO standards are published, This standard
will be alternated)
26. How to measure emissions?
Various websites provide precise measurements

URGENT!!
27. How to reduce CO2 ?
Example ExampleExample Example Example Example Example
Reduce raw material use
Reduce energy consumption
Improve process efficiency
Reduce waste generation and disposal costs
Utilize recoverable resources
Build manufacturing factory near material resources
Lower volume of production = Lower transportation frequency
Find other choices to provide energy (e.g., nuclear power
instead of thermal power)
Short-term:
Carbon disclosure
and measurement
Midterm:
Carbon
footprint and
measurement
Long-term:
Greenhouse gas
reduction and
carbon neutral
Examples
29. Enterprises want to know…
Challenges?
How much does it cost?
When will the profits start coming in?
Solutions:
Correct mindset: short term profit versus long term cost
reduction
Establish:
Brand image
Socially responsible supplier
Customer confidence
30. Challenges among employees:
What does it have to do with us? We are busy enough.
The company is just trying to keep track of our
activities.
The company is just trying to cut cost and reduce our
benefits.
Solutions:
Arrange meetings to clearly communicate goal
and reasons to achieve carbon neutrality.
Many employees who seem skeptical are actually more
curious once they understand more about the
standards. They will be the ones telling their clients
about it!
31. How to strike a balance among these things is an
important issue
35. Open R&D IssuesExample ExampleExample Example Example Example Example
Software development: Develop software to calculate CO2 emission
The service-oriented architecture is characterized in that:
• Interventions in existing operative applications (e.g. ERP systems)
is held to a minimum
• Calculations of environmental impact of the upstream supply
chain involve only making enquiries of the direct suppliers.
• Existing external data on environmental impact of materials is
used to as great an extent as possible in the calculation
• An initial entry of data on environmental impact at the level of
individual company processes and materials is unnecessary.
Instead this can be done gradually in response to customer enquiries
Software validation: Prototype developed in order to evaluate the
feasibility of this approach

Editor's Notes
Human race is on an sustainable path
As the planet heats up, so do regulatory mandates to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions worldwide. Much of the opportunity to address CO2 emissions rests
on the supply chain, compelling companies to look for new approaches to
managing carbon effectively – from sourcing and production, to distribution
and product afterlife. The trade-offs in the supply chain are no longer just about
cost, service and quality – but cost, service, quality and carbon. By incorporating
carbon reduction into their strategy, companies can help reduce their
environmental emissions footprint, strengthen their brand image and develop
competitive advantage.
CO2 emissions from cradle – to – grave
Materials: gold, iron, aluminum, and so on
Manufacturing: energy. For example: :Thermal power
Transportation: CO2 emit by truck
Use: For example: Driving car
Disposal: burning garbage
Many companies want their factory to be located near the materials in order to lower the transportation costs.
We can see the supply chain.
Caring for the environment by reducing emissions
Demonstrating a low carbon footprint and reduced associated environmental impacts.
Ensuring GHG emissions are reduced in a sustainable way
Taking direct responsibility for reducing GHG emissions where practicable, rather than outsourcing this through offsetting schemes.
Reducing non – greenhouse environmental impacts.
Embedment – embed the conception that green products are good for us into the customers. (Even though a little more expensive than common product, they will still choose the green products.)
integrates internal and external management information across an entire organization, embracing finance/accounting, manufacturing, sales and service, customer relationship management, etc. ERP systems automate this activity with an integrated software application. Its purpose is to facilitate the flow of information between all business functions inside the boundaries of the organization and manage the connections to outside stakeholders.[
