• Hot-spots identification in the value chain• Identifying short term/long term projects• Environmental responsible design and sustainable growth• Material selection and major design decisions• Benchmarking with peers/competitors • Future scenario modelling for target setting, marketing and branding• CII GreenCo and GreenPro• Voluntary requirements (BRR- SEBI, ISO 14001:2015, Customer Demand,
Responsible care, GRI G4, CDP, DJSI)• EPD and Communication• Export Markets- Product Environment Footprint (PEF), End of life of Vehicles
(ELV), Customers Demand• OFIs in supply chain• Other Indian sustainability awards requirements
• Goal and scope definition (cradle to grave or cradle to cradle), functional unit• System Boundary- foreground and background processes• Foreground processes- breakdown in various units• Data collection questionnaire• Data collection and validation/consistency check• Allocation, biogenic, recycled content, EoL etc.• Development of LCA model in GaBi software• Modelling check• Generation of results for life cycle phases, by major contributors, process-
wise etc• Interpretation and significance assessment• Scenario assessment• Recommendations

Case Study: L&T Process Gas Boiler
• Objective: To evaluate the “cradle-to-gate lifecycle” i.e.from raw material acquisition, material production,transport, assembly and fabrication data for Process GasBoiler system in order to calculate life cycle inventories(“Life Cycle Inventory” or ”LCI”).
• To fulfil the requirements of GreenCo Rating system• Focus on electricity, scrap yield, furnace improvement

Case Study: Tata Motors
• Quantification of life cycle environmental impacts and run various scenarios forresource efficiency
• Getting Vendors on Board• LCAs of several vehicles including the Safari, Ace CNG and the ACE diesel.
Life Cycle Assessment of Copier PaperFunctional unit of this LCA study is 1 corrugated container of copier paper, whichis equivalent 24.26 Kg or of 5000 A4 sheets of 75 gsm
• 135.5 Kg of CO2 emission in the life cycle of 1 corrugated container ( 5000 A4sheets ) of copier paper
• 195 kg is sequestered by our forestry project making the product a carbonpositive one
• 1018 liters of fresh water is used for making one functional unit. Around 60%of this water is returned to the environment
• 44% of the total energy required is met by renewable sources
GoalIdentification of environmental and social material issues in the value chain E-LCA conducted as per ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 requirements and S-LCA framework designed using UNEP-SETAC guidelines and adapting to Indian contextScopeLife cycle stages included are materials, transport, manufacturing, end-of-lifeFunctional UnitE-LCA: Production of 1 ton of special steel S-LCA: Steel product manufactured at Khopoli manufacturing location of MSSSPL located at Maharashtra, India
Life Cycle Impact Categories per tonne of Aluminium Cold Rolled Strips
Bauxite Production Alumina Production Anode Production Electrolysis Cast House Hot Rolling Scalping
Hindalco LCA Profile benchmarked with EU and US Average Profile
Focus on renewables, Bauxite quality, reuse, furnace efficiency improvement

Case Study: Arvind Limited
Challenge• Sustainability Management System• Understanding the environmental impact of
organically grown cotton fibre • Understanding the environmental impact of various
textile technologies
Solution• Implementation of thinkstep’s SoFi software for
corporate sustainability data and performance management
• LCA of cotton fibre (conventional, BCI and organic) based on primary data
• Thinkstep’s agricultural model and experience allows in-depth assessment and benchmarking
• LCA of Denim, Shirt produced through various technological routes
• Focus on agriculture practices, dyeing technology, energy efficiency improvement, chemicals
GoalQuantification of life cycle environmentalimpacts for one “mHawk Engine”manufactured at Igatpuri plant of Mahindra andMahindra over the cradle to grave systemboundary as per ISO 14040/44 standard
Function Unit“1 MHAWK engine weighing xx kg over thecradle to grave system boundary, which will beused in a Scopio car having fuel efficiency ofxx km/L and life of 300000 km”
