5. 4. Tracking down Social Impacts of Products with Social Life Cycle Assessment

   Författare :Elisabeth Ekener; Göran Finnveden; Åsa Moberg; Jean-Pierre Revéret; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Social Life Cycle Assessment;

   Sammanfattning : An important aspect of sustainable development is the social impacts from the consumption of goods and services. A recently developed method for social life cycle assessment (S-LCA) assesses the potential positive and negative social impacts along a product’s life cycle, while avoiding shifting negative impacts from one part of the supply chain to another.
