Abstract

The analysis of social impacts of product supply chains is receiving substantial interest from corporations and their stakeholders. Social LCA is a technique that allows for the generation, organization, assessment and communication of product life cycles’ social impacts. The Social Hotspots Database provides a three layered system to assess the potential social risks and opportunities associated with product life cycles. The system was used to carry out social scoping assessments on seven product categories for The Sustainability Consortium. This article summarizes the methodology and discusses the main findings generated by the application of the system and database.
