All topics related to LCA, carbon footprint, SimaPro LCA software, sustainable lifestyles, food consumption and product declarations
The employees of ESU-services GmbH are giving lectures about LCA and related topics since 1998. A complete list of the presentations given by ESU-services in English, the client and the title of the event can be found below. The presentations deal with several themes around life cycle thinking such as LCA, carbon footprint, SimaPro LCA software, sustainable lifestyles, food consumption and product declarations. Presentations are also organized together with the international speakers bureau Athenas.
