SimaPro and PRé Sustainability are now part of One Click LCA, the world’s leading life-cycle assessment (LCA) platform for impact, compliance, and growth — combining scientific rigor and easy-to-use tools to drive carbon reduction globally. The joint platform now includes the world’s largest LCA database, with +500,000 datasets across construction, manufacturing supply chains, chemicals, and other sectors.
One Click LCA, the global leader in scalable, easy-to-use life-cycle assessment (LCA) software, which is backed by PSG Equity and Infravia, today announces that SimaPro, the world’s trusted science-based LCA software, and its developer, PRé Sustainability, have joined the One Click LCA family. Together, they now offer the world’s largest and most advanced LCA platform for every industry, with an ambition to reach1-million users by 2035 — making it a one-stop-shop for LCA and sustainability, available globally.
Access to, and the ability to create, product-specific LCA data is critical for the industry to be able to reduce CO2e emissions and comply with new regulations. Datasets show the carbon impact of a material or product from cradle to grave, providing companies with an understanding of how their decisions impact their carbon footprint — and how to reduce it over time. The combined platform will provide the tools, data, and services to deliver actionable carbon insights, enable compliance, and drive sustainable growth across all industries — at planetary scale.
“This is a pivotal moment in scaling the use of LCA,” says Panu Pasanen, CEO & Founder of One Click LCA. “SimaPro has set the benchmark for transparency in LCA for 30 years, while One Click LCA has focused on making LCA scalable, accessible, and actionable. By joining forces, we can meet the growing global demand for high-quality sustainability data — from research labs to global supply chains — and accelerate progress toward a zero-carbon future.”
Combining science and scalability for global impact
The combined platform brings together SimaPro’s market-leading position in science-based, industry-agnostic LCA modeling with One Click LCA’s automation, scalability, and integrations that fit seamlessly into existing workflows across several industries. The combined +500,000 LCA datasets support +140 global standards and methods, and serve users in +170 countries. A global team of support specialists backs the platform, complemented by the One Click LCA Academy, which provides free certifications worldwide — as well as PRé’s deep methodological expertise and consulting services.
Both SimaPro and One Click LCA continue as distinct products retaining their unique strengths while benefiting from joint investments in AI, supply chain data integration, extended databases, and sector-specific compliance solutions.
Meeting a global need with a shared mission and expanded reach
With sustainability regulations tightening worldwide, the combined offering enables faster, easier, and more robust compliance with frameworks including the EU Construction Products Regulation, Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, and Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation. Tailored sectoral solutions will address construction, manufacturing, consumer, infrastructure, and more.
“Joining One Click LCA enables us to accelerate PRé Sustainability’s mission to scale LCA,” says Eric Mieras, Managing Director of PRé Sustainability. “We can now bring our scientific rigor and LCA robustness to a far wider audience, backed by the powerful technology and ease-of-use of One Click LCA.”
