The Certified Lifecycle Executive (CLE) is ACLCA’s official credential, developed to ISO 17024 standards. It demonstrates your knowledge of LCA basics and proves you can interpret and communicate results with confidence.
Recognized in America and Australia, CLE gives you a credential that builds credibility with colleagues, clients, and stakeholders who depend on clear sustainability insights.
Whether you’re a manager, architect, educator, or decision-maker, CLE shows you don’t just know about LCA — you can explain it and lead with it.
