A practical conversation on building internal LCA capability, aligning key users, and creating a more scalable way of working across functions.
25 June 2026 - at 15:00 CET
If you're a sustainability leader inside a large manufacturer, you probably recognize the moment.
Sustainability is in the strategy. The real challenge now is execution: how to consistently translate that strategy into product-level environmental data across teams, regions, and business units.
As customer requirements for LCAs, EPDs, and product-level footprint data increase many organizations find that their LCA work becomes fragmented. Different teams apply different methods, knowledge sits with a few individuals, and scaling beyond pilot projects becomes difficult.
It is an organizational challenge: building a consistent way of working with LCA across the company.
In this practical, fireside-style conversation, Carl Rymenams joins Environmental Impacts Academy to share how in Niko they moved from fragmented LCA efforts to a more structured and scalable in-house capability.
Carl led Niko's move from project-based, externally-supported LCA work toward a structured in-house capability across teams. He'll share how they thought about who to involve (and why this was never really about training one person), how they aligned R&D, sustainability, and compliance around a shared way of working, what role shared software and transferable models played, and the practical realities of leadership buy-in, internal coordination, and software decisions.
Join our honest, peer-to-peer discussion — including the parts that took longer than expected, the unexpected obstacles, and what Carl would approach differently today.

Who should attend
This session is built for people inside large manufacturing organizations who are trying to make LCA work at scale — not as a project, but as an organizational capability.
