Conducting fair consulting in the field of life cycle assessment
The core objectives of ESU are consulting, software, data, training and research in the fields of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and carbon footprints. We work for all economic sectors such as energy, food, civil engineering, basic minerals, chemicals, packaging, telecommunication, agriculture and lifestyles. ESU also creates environmental product declarations (EPD) and conduct critical review as well as verifications according to different standards.
The name ESU derives from the German Energie-Stoffe-Umwelt (energy-materials-environment), which covers our main areas of expertise. ESU has been founded in 1998. Our CEO Niels Jungbluth has LCA experience since 1994. Fairness, independence and transparency are substantial characteristics of our consulting philosophy. This means, we work issue-related and accomplish our analyses without prejudice. Our studies and work are documented transparently and comprehensibly. Thus, it is also possible for an outsider to control the quality of our work at any time. We offer a fair and competent consultation, which makes it for the clients possible to control and continuously improve their ecological performance. The same objectives are followed for our own environmental policy.
Networks facilitating our work
ESU-services works worldwide for all types of clients ranging from small companies, industry organizations, authorities, national and international research programs, non-governmental organizations to ecology groups. Therefore, we cooperate with partners from consulting, university and other organizations. Most important is collaboration within the SimaPro partner network that allows us finding easily cooperation partners all over the world. In several areas, team members of ESU-services performed pioneering work or are involved in large projects with industrial partners.
