Ecochain Technologies

“Using Ecochain, we were able to generate our EPDs far more efficiently than other methods. The software streamlined the workflow and the team helped us through the entire EPD generation process whenever we needed.”

“Data is the solution to allow customers to make informed decisions.”

“We are trying to get our message out there. However, nobody knows who makes their garments.” –”

““Thanks to Ecochain software we generated insight in our impact on the world around us, furthermore, it also showed us on what main activities we should focus in our mission to reduce that impact””

“Secrid has a strong internal drive to be a front-runner in sustainability. From the start until the end of the project Secrid was on top of the matter, curious about the background and science behind the methods. Besides their enthusiastic attitude, Secrid also helped with improving our tool and data collection procedure by providing valuable feedback. As a proud owner of a mini-wallet, this project was very tangible and it is funny to realize I’m actually wearing a product LCA that Ecochain calculated.”

““We wanted to specify the environmental impact of our products compared to the primary equivalents. Additionally, we want to see where we can improve our own processes.””

““We sense a barrier from our customers to use recycled materials. We want to calculate the environmental footprint of secondary materials compared to primary ones. And use these results as one of the main arguments to convince the industry to go ‘secondary’ instead of ‘primary’. We highly believe it has such a smaller impact on our environment .””

““As long as there is no benchmark, we strive to be that benchmark ourselves. To our suppliers but also to other catering companies.””

““Ecochain has ensured that the environmental footprint of Vermaat’s suppliers has become concrete and tangible. As a result, Vermaat can now start looking with its suppliers at the best possible ways in which we can reduce our joint environmental footprint.””

“Where we suffer from obesity, food surpluses, and a lot of waste- there are countries where people are starving and cannot even access food. Yet, we produce enough food to feed all these mouths. We see an opportunity to reduce the environmental impact of the food we produce and serve so that we can make the world a little better.”

“The main functionalities of Ecochain software combined with how easily the tool can be tailored for packaging, makes working with Ecochain a great partnership.”

“Our next steps will be to continue to evaluate our carbon footprint in each product from the data we have received and look for new ways to reduce it. We will continue to partner with Ecochain to make sure we are holding ourselves accountable in making reductions and understand where the impacts have opportunity for improvement.”

“Moving forward, we will use Ecochain software in our production decision-making processes. Carbon impact will now have a seat at the table when we are making decisions for our future products.”

“The health of the planet is important to our employees and consumers. It is important that we begin to take action to reduce our impact. Ecochain software has allowed us to measure our impact and identify its sources so that we can start to implement change.”

“We decided to work with Ecochain for multiple reasons, starting from our past experience together in Belgium and the Netherlands, and the capabilities Ecochain’s LCA automation software (also known as Helix) offers us for managing a complex network of production facilities.”

“One of my favorite updates that I’m happy to share, is being able to provide customers with LCA documentation tailored to their specific project: that would’ve required a lot of time and work in Excel a few years ago, but now we can calculate and visualize the data in a much more efficient way.”

“We see that customers increasingly ask for different sustainability criteria; this also concerns footprint information. We knew little about the impact of the various sustainability initiatives we already executed and have planned. As we didn’t yet have quantitative insights . With Ecochain sofware  we now have extensive footprint reports for three representative shoe models, clearly outlining the impact from the production to the end of life phase.”

“We are convinced we need transparent numbers to support our sustainability claims now – and in the future. This also really helps in our sustainability reporting. It enables us to be more transparent about our products towards the customers.”

“The EP&L account is a logical next step to extend the scope from individual product value chains to Philips’ complete value chain. It will support the direction of our sustainability strategy by providing insights into the main environmental hotspots from an overall business point of view.”

“Acting responsibly towards the planet and society is part of our DNA. I am convinced that this is the best way for us to create superior, long-term value for Philips’ multiple stakeholders.”

““Housing all of our impact data in one place and being able to source much of the data from the platform itself has allowed us to make much better decisions.””

““ Before we started using Ecochain software and started measuring our emissions we could never state to be an impact-driven business. Every action we took before then was merely based on assumptions.””

“Because of Ecochain, we have significantly reduced the environmental impact of our products. As a result, we can now offer more sustainable safety footwear options to our customers.”

“Our core mission is positive impact, and Ecochain software gives us the transparency to showcase our products’ sustainability credentials.”

“You can’t submit a tender in the European Union without that data. And if you do and your competitors don’t, then you’re in a better position per definition.”
