1. Introduction: SocRates (Social Rates) Project!
• Goal: to perform a pilot project using S-LCA
• Objective of the S-LCA: to identify social impacts along the life cycle!
1. Introduction: scope definition!
• Functional unit: to help cleaning a person during a year
‒ Materials from the country
‒ Includes organic materials
‒ Materials from communities
• Reference flow : ~10 cocoa soaps of 150g.!
Product system!
Soap production! Distribution!

Results with and without Cocoa!
Conclusion !
The creation of scenarios can help in the social actions assessment performed by Natura Cosmetics in Cocoa Cooperatives.!In this case the comparison of scenarios showed that the Natura Cosmetics influence in the Cocoa Cooperatives is good even if is not highlighted by SAM. !This study does not close the efforts to solve the challenges on S-LCA, once there are many methodological challenges to be overcome, as:!limitations of S-LCA framework and,!lack of indicators reflecting positive social impact.!The results of this study reinforce the necessity to build a more complete set of socio-economic indicators to allow confident aggregation and interpretation of data for the whole supply chain.!!
