ABOUT SIMTech’s LCC-LCA Platform & Services

SIMTech’s Life Cycle Assessment and Life Cycle Costing (LCA-LCC) platform equips companies of all sized and sectors with the capabilities in quantifying both environmental and economic impacts for businesses that are interested in sustainability. It is a science-based collaborative digital web tool that provides customized and credible reports with localized (Singapore-specific) emission data, that can be used for sustainability planning to help businesses reduce carbon emission, compute carbon tax and provide decision support for carbon pricing.

  • Benchmark environmental and economic performance of systems
  • Identify sustainability hotspots and set science-based targets
  • Support eco-design, systematic planning and maximise financial ROI of sustainability initiatives

The LCA-LCC platform provides various compelling and competitive advantages such as:

  • Support services provided on-site, remotely, and via face-to-face training sources; these support services are led by scientists and engineers who are trained extensively in the sustainability domain
  • Expansive database for localised (i.e. Singapore-specific) and representative data points
