The purpose of this project was to develop methods for how large companies can work with energy efficiency that stretches across actors in the value chain.
The life cycle perspective is crucial for companies and other organizations in order to reduce their environmental impact and to reach climate- and energy efficiency goals. With focus on successful life cycle activities that are already in place in Swedish organizations, this project aimed to spread the good examples.
Life cycle information is used differently thru out the organization, this project investigate how information can contribute for better environmental performance when addressed correctly. The aim of the project is to facilitate for the various functions of a company to contribute to increased energy efficiency in a life cycle perspective.
With focus on successful life cycle activities that are already in place in Swedish organizations, this project aimed to spread the good examples.
