Successful investments don’t just look green.

We accurately report the current and future impact of investments on societies and the planet in an extended life-cycle assessment, delivered within 5 to 20 days (key indicators within 24hrs).

This gives investors confidence that their investments are net-positive for the planet, people and profits.

Our assessments

Our extended life-cycle assessments (LCA) allow investors to gain a full understanding of the material impact their investment has, leading to better investment decisions. We also provide ESG- and business-purpose recommendations, helping investors and founders find their ideal match.

Our full LCA includes the absolute (reduction/addition to ESG factors in and of itself) and relative (impact relative to global shortfall and overshoot on all assessment areas, identifying breakthrough opportunities and significant scaling potential) impact assessment. Our quick LCA provides absolute impact assessments only.

Our assessments are written by scientists and market veterans and so investors can rest assured that their assessment goes beyond greenwashing and comfort-bias. We provide a holistic assessment of a company’s, product or service’s absolute and relative impact.

The 4 major parts of our extended life-cycle assessments

1. Planet: The Environment

One Earth. There is no planet B. To protect planet A, our assessment locates the investment’s climate impact on the current overshoot in all nine (9) ecological ceiling areas. To reflect scaling over time, the assessment shows impact over five (5) and ten (10) years, all in a single, easy-to-digest graphical design.

2. Human: Societal Foundations

Humans have needs and healthy societies rest on twelve (12) basic foundations. To help secure these and deliver them to all humans on planet A, our assessments show the impact of investments on societal foundations, summarised in a single, easy-to-digest graphical design similar to that of the environmental assessment.

3. ESG and Company Purpose

First, clarity matters. Beyond lofty statements, investors’ and founders’ understanding of the business’ purpose (why?) and ESG (how?) is critical to the business’ performance.

Second, evidence matters. Businesses that are clearer on their purpose, and support it with metrics, produce better and more meaningful results. These metrics and results can be tied to senior-executive incentives – resulting in better job performance, less fluctuation and better results for the people, the business and the planet.

Our LCAs provide clear and evidenced purpose-driven strategy outlines, underpinned by better ESG factors. Because if either is unclear, the performance of the business is likely to be, too.

4. Impact Through Networks

Stakeholders are as essential to the success of a business as its shareholders are. It is therefore natural that the impact of a business should be informed by and constantly improved with the help of those organisations and individuals that know more about the planetary and social impact areas.

Together with our wholly-owned subsidiary MzN International, which specialises in working with civil society and environmental organisations in over 60 countries since 2011, we develop mechanisms that constantly check and improve a business’s impact on the environment and people. Unsurprisingly, a better understanding of and constant adjustment to ESG factors produces significantly better business outcomes too.

What the assessment report looks like

Quick LCA (delivery in 10 to 20 days)

  • Absolute environmental and societal impact
  • Traditional life-cycle assessment
  • Basic governance requirements and performance at current times
  • Minimum environmental and social criteria investors should expect

Full LCA  (delivery in 15 to 25 days)

  • Everything in quick LCA, plus:
  • Immediate metrics on ESG matters *to be written*
  • Relative environmental and societal impact to spot scaling potential and pinpoint breakthrough solution opportunity (when and how could this be a breakthrough solution for the planet and humans?)
  • Supply Chain and Market Impact Assessment (including assessing the impact on the often complex tech-social aspects in any supply chain)

Cost and time

The cost of a quick and extended full LCA varies by sector, product/service and location, ranging between EUR15,000 and EUR35,000. We will provide you with a fixed price quote within 24hrs of your request.
