SimaPro partner network can
support you
• Powerful ecosystem
• Broad scope of expertise
• Local presence
• Many cultures and languages
• One mind-set
SimaPro – Enabling fact-based
sustainability
• Transparent - it is our belief that
transparency is key in creating
sustainable value
• Reliable - 25 years of thought

leadership and development
• Cost effective - no hidden costs, low

costs of ownership over multiple years.
One tool for multiple applications
Built on 25 years of sustainability
thought leadership
• SimaPro is based on the robust science of LCA, the leading method
to measure product sustainability.
• Build complex, transparent, systematic models with SimaPro. You can

model from a life cycle perspective with
• uncertainty calculation
• process and project parameters
• insight in unit processes
• allocation of multiple output processes
• complex waste treatment.
• Produce reliable results with limited effort. A powerful scenario

analysis tool (SimaPro Share) helps you to create complex ‘what if’
scenarios on the fly, while all results remain completely transparent.
• ISO-compliant LCAs (e.g. with ISO 14067 and 14040), EPDs and reports
Tool of Choice for Industry and Academia
25 years of thought ISO compliant

We are serious about LCA Data
INDIAN
DATA DEVELOP
IMPLEMENT
ALIGN
LCA is as good as data on which it is
modelled.

How diesel is

Influencers to accuracy of LCA & GHG impacts
1. Has process of coconut cultivation and coconut oil
manufacturing been modelled on site data?
2. Has a separate process for electricity production
been created?
3. Has a separate process for Diesel/ Chemicals/ water
production been created?
4. Has a separate process for dehusking coconut etc..
production been created?
Accuracy/ Robustness of LCA study has been compromised if

answer to any one of the above is ‘NO’ and
Accuracy is also compromised when European / US processes
available in the software used to model LCA
Accuracy / Robustness of LCA & GHG Study
Compromised
or in other words
GREENWASHING has been done
How??
GHG impact of 1kWh of electricity:
Indian Data vs European & US
Electricity, high voltage {US}| market

0.65
group for | Alloc Def, U
Electricity, high voltage {RER}|

0.47
market group for | Alloc Def, U
Electricity, high voltage {India}|

0.90
Market | Alloc Def, U
0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1

Kg CO2 equiv.
Difference in impacts is as high as ~ 50%
GHG impact of 1Kg of diesel: Indian
Data vs European & US
Diesel, low-sulfur {CH}|

0.41

Diesel, low-sulfur {RoW}|

0.59
production | Alloc Def, U
Diesel, at refinery/ India U 0.50
0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8

Kg CO2 equiv.
Difference in impacts is as high as ~ 20%

The difference occurs because
• Electricity production mix is different
• Transportation distance and means are different
• Input materials are different
• Production processes have Technological
differences …………etc.
The above lead to inaccurate LCA & GHG impacts
So Advisable to
Keep a tab on data on which your LCA/GHG is being
modelled and major influencers like Electricity and
Transportation Processes
Because
Greenwashing, in this era, when Consumers have
access to quality information, is risky. And when
they eventually figure out that you are involved in
greenwashing, the damage to the business
reputation is far worse than the short-term gain of
being environmentally friendly Organization.

Why LCA and Circularity?
LCA assesses environmental impacts throughout the
life cycle of a product/service from cradle to grave.
Compares environmental performance
between/among predecessors, peers & competitors
Circularity communicates results to potential
customers, R&D and Design Team, and other
stakeholders about the extent of alignment of
company’s policies to Sustainability.
Why LCA and Circularity ?
• Life cycle assessment [LCA] and circularity
provide insights on the key sustainability issues
associated with design and marketing a
“greener” product that would use
➢ less material and fuel
➢ be less polluting and
➢ that would have a well-managed end-of-life.
How SIPL Pvt Ltd will support Marico
SIPL Pvt Ltd has Indian life cycle databases collected
from SAIL, IOCL, NTPC, NALCO and other reputed
companies thus major hotspot areas in a product’s life cycle will be calculated
accurately with help of data collected from relevant and reputed companies from
India.
SIPL’s comparative studies will affirm that Marico’s
technologies are reliable, energy efficient and eco-
friendly vis-à-vis its competitors
Exact calculation of impacts based on site specific details
to highlight the saving in carbon footprint and other
impacts and finally cost to the customer
How SIPL Pvt Ltd will support Marico
Marico – a multi-product behemoth with efficient

and sustainable manufacturing practices. SIPL’s
LCA, LCC [in ₹ or $ or € ]and circularity reports will
supplement and authenticate
SIPL’s LCA, PSA, LCC and Circularity studies will
accentuate Marico’s brand image as Sustainable,
