Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) is a methodology that can help companies administer their supply chain and promote both social responsibility and sustainability through the assessment of both positive and negative social and socio-economic aspects of products during their entire life cycle. Here, a case study was performed to test an S-LCA database as a comparative assessment tool of two products, i.e. the traditional almond sugared confetti and Tenerelli sugared almonds, made by the same company.
UNASSIGNED: The S-LCA case study was carried out by using the Product Social Impact Life Cycle Assessment (PSILCA) database, for the two products on openLCA software.
UNASSIGNED: The risk assessment helped to identify the most affected impact categories and which product influences the most on them as well as the categories on which the foreground processes have the greatest impact. For both the analysed products, the category \"Contribution of the sector to economic development\" is marginally affected. Overall, the production of Confetti entails higher medium risk hours regarding some categories (e.g. \"Public sector corruption\", \"Promoting social responsibility\", \"Migration flows\"), whilst for others, it is the Tenerelli that affect the most (e.g. \"Biomass consumption\", \"Trade unionism\"), depending on the different inputs used. Finally, the results are not very influenced by foreground processes, and the social risks are therefore related to upstream processes for both products.
UNASSIGNED: The comparison can become more useful for products of the same or similar functions and the same audience but of different inputs and therefore different supply chains. Indeed, it could be useful for decision-making with the aim of selecting between various possible options the one that entails lower social risks.
摘要:
社会生命周期评估(S-LCA)是一种方法,可以帮助公司管理其供应链,并通过评估积极和消极的社会和社会经济方面的产品在其整个生命周期中促进社会责任和可持续性。这里,进行了一个案例研究,以测试S-LCA数据库作为两种产品的比较评估工具,即传统的杏仁加糖五彩纸屑和Tenerelli加糖杏仁,由同一家公司制造。
使用产品社会影响生命周期评估(PSILCA)数据库进行了S-LCA案例研究,对于openLCA软件上的两个产品。
风险评估有助于确定受影响最大的影响类别,以及哪些产品对其影响最大,以及前台流程影响最大的类别。对于这两种分析产品,“该部门对经济发展的贡献”类别受到轻微影响。总的来说,关于某些类别,五彩纸屑的生产需要较高的中等风险时间(例如“公共部门腐败”,“促进社会责任”,“迁移流”),而对其他人来说,影响最大的是Tenerelli(例如“生物质消费”,\“工会主义\”),根据使用的不同输入。最后,结果不受前台进程的影响,因此,社会风险与这两种产品的上游流程有关。
对于功能相同或相似,受众相同但输入不同,因此供应链不同的产品,比较可能变得更加有用。的确,它可能有助于决策,目的是在各种可能的选择中选择社会风险较低的选择。
