Life Cycle Assessment for a Luxury Retailer

A luxury retailer engaged our services to conduct Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) for their stores in Seoul and Shanghai. We performed comprehensive LCA Phase I and Phase II analyses for both locations, providing detailed insights into the environmental impact of their material and construction choices.

• Phase I: Seoul Store

We have analyzed 166 materials based on architectural drawings, with 138 of these materials hosted on the MATTER platform for detailed assessment. Additionally, we have conducted LCA outside of MATTER to measure the environmental impact and generate sustainability scores.

• Phase II: Shanghai Store

Our team performed a comprehensive analysis of embodied carbon, examining the impact across different lifecycle stages and material types. Besides, we have consolidated detailed information on both globally standardized items and locally sourced materials, enhancing supplier engagement and optimizing sustainability efforts.
