• Hot-spots identification in the value chain• Identifying short term/long term projects• Environmental responsible design and sustainable growth• Material selection and major design decisions• Benchmarking with peers/competitors • Future scenario modelling for target setting, marketing and branding• CII GreenCo and GreenPro• Voluntary requirements (BRR- SEBI, ISO 14001:2015, Customer Demand,
Responsible care, GRI G4, CDP, DJSI)• EPD and Communication• Export Markets- Product Environment Footprint (PEF), End of life of Vehicles
(ELV), Customers Demand• OFIs in supply chain• Other Indian sustainability awards requirements

• Cross functional team (Environment, R&D, Utilities, supply chain, Operations etc)
• Goal and scope definition (cradle to grave or cradle to cradle), functional unit• System Boundary- foreground and background processes• Foreground processes- breakdown in various units• Data collection questionnaire• Data collection and validation/consistency check• Allocation, biogenic, recycled content, EoL etc.• Development of LCA model in GaBi software• Modelling check• Generation of results for life cycle phases, by major contributors, process-
wise etc• Interpretation and significance assessment• Scenario assessment• Recommendations

Case Study: L&T Process Gas Boiler
• Objective: To evaluate the “cradle-to-gate lifecycle” i.e.from raw material acquisition, material production,transport, assembly and fabrication data for Process GasBoiler system in order to calculate life cycle inventories(“Life Cycle Inventory” or ”LCI”).
• To fulfil the requirements of GreenCo Rating system• Focus on electricity, scrap yield, furnace improvement

Case Study: ITC Limited
Life Cycle Assessment of Copier PaperFunctional unit of this LCA study is 1 corrugated container of copier paper, whichis equivalent 24.26 Kg or of 5000 A4 sheets of 75 gsm
• 135.5 Kg of CO2 emission in the life cycle of 1 corrugated container ( 5000 A4sheets ) of copier paper
• 195 kg is sequestered by our forestry project making the product a carbonpositive one
• 1018 liters of fresh water is used for making one functional unit. Around 60%of this water is returned to the environment
• 44% of the total energy required is met by renewable sources
