SCORE LCA Study – Procurement & LCA

The ELYS Conseil team wrapped up 2025 on a high note with the finalization of the SCORE LCA study “LCA and Sustainable Purchasing”, now available to SCORE LCA members !

This study had three main objectives :

to provide practical guidelines on how to integrate LCA into the tendering and contract execution process, as well as into the contractual elements defined by the buyer ;
to clarify how far LCA should be applied depending on the type of contract ;
to make recommendations on the type of information expected from bidders / service providers.

To do this, we followed a two-step approach :

first, a literature review and a series of interviews with a variety of public and private buyers, to build solid, operational proposals ;
then, a practical application of these proposals through four case studies carried out with EDF, a member of SCORE LCA.

Join us at the SCORE LCA 2026 Seminar on 19 March, where we will present the study in detail and discuss the findings together : https://scorelca.org/sessions/seminaire-score-lca-2026/.
