About ACLCA

Organizations rely on life cycle assessment to meet regulatory and procurement requirements, make environmental claims they can defend, and guide design, sourcing and investment decisions. ACLCA makes sure the people and methods behind that work are rigorous. Through professional certification, the PCR Open Standard, the LCA Institute, our annual conference and member-led committees, we build the skills, standards and community that make LCA credible. Our annual conference has convened the LCA community for more than 20 years, first as a program of the Institute for Environmental Research and Education (IERE), and ACLCA became an independent nonprofit in 2014.
