ecoinvent Information

ecoinvent is an independent non-profit association founded and governed by leading Swiss research institutions and universities. Our mission is to enable people and organizations to make science-based, data-driven sustainability decisions. We do this by maintaining the world's most widely used and transparent environmental database, which spans every major sector and geography. We reinvest all license revenue into improving the quality and completeness of our database, and innovating to meet evolving user needs. Global industry leaders, researchers, policymakers, and software providers partner with ecoinvent to support more sustainable decisions. From life cycle assessment (LCA) and ecodesign to product carbon footprinting, supply chain optimization, corporate carbon accounting, and Scope 3 reporting, ecoinvent underpins the tools, frameworks, and standards that the sustainability era is being built on. We have been doing this for over two decades. The newest release of the ecoinvent database is ecoinvent v3.12
