LCSA for SMEs and Trade associations online workshop

28th November 2023, 11 – 12:30 CET

How does the ORIENTING’S LCSA methodology apply to SMEs and trade associations? What benefits does it offer and how does it mesh with all the other policy initiatives of the European Green Deal?

If you are an SME, by joining us on November 28th at 11 a.m. you will:

  • Find out how to apply the ORIENTING’s LCSA methodology to your own company.
  • Receive an overview of key European policy initiatives on sustainability.
  • Clarify all your doubts and curiosities with direct questions to the experts during the panel discussion.

The event is aimed at all SMEs and trade associations interested in understanding how to apply the ORIENTING’s LCSA methodology to their own reality and sector. It will also be an opportunity to receive an overview of key European policy initiatives and the role an LCSA methodology can play in the context of the European Green Deal, from the perspective of the three main categories of the regulatory landscape: product design, governance, and transparency/communication. A policy officer from the European Commission is invited to present these initiatives to participants.

The workshop is divided into two parts:

  • Part one: introduction to the LCSA methodology for SMEs and its role in the framework of key European policy initiatives on sustainability.
  • Part two: panel discussion on the topics of LCSA methodology that will engage all participants and the experts.

We strongly encourage all those who plan to attend to send us any doubts or questions about the topics we will cover in the workshop via e-mail to events@orienting.eu.

Priority will be given to SMEs and trade associations to which this event is dedicated. We invite everyone to connect a few minutes before the event.
