Social LCA: Footprint + Handprint.

There is a lot of talk about companies’ Social Handprints and Net Positive but to start measuring Social Life Cycle Assessment expertise is required. We are leaders, at the cutting edge of this field and able to assist organizations that wish to calculate their Social Footprint, Handprint and Net Positive impacts.

Calculating a Social Footprint is the place to start for most organizations because it provides an overview of the total social risks associated with your product or organization.

Bringing refinements to this initial Social Footprint calculation, using site-specific information is often a recommended second step along with root cause assessments. Measuring the results of intervention that goes beyond footprint reduction (influence and additional impacts) enables to calculate a Social Handprint.


  • “What we take out” is our Footprint, environmentally and socially
  • “What we put back” is the sum of the positive changes that we cause outside the scope of our footprint; this is our Handprint
  • Net Positive for a given impact means Handprint < Footprint
