Open publisher page 9 citations

Abstract

For the achievement and analysis of sustainability of anthropogenic activities, ecological, economic and social aspects – the three pillars of sustainability – have to be considered. The life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) of products is the sum of life cycle assessment (LCA), life cycle costing (LCC) and social LCA (SLCA). There are several options on how to integrate LCC and product-related social assessment into the sustainability analysis of products.
