Why Lifecycles are supporting Carbon Neutral Adelaide

Environmental impact is at the core of everything they do at Lifecycles - so being part of Adelaide’s efforts to go carbon neutral is a natural fit. They are specialists in life cycle assessment, a method that calculates carbon footprint but also other environmental impacts.

They undertake life cycle assessment studies for private and government clients, and also provide training and tools that enable students and professionals to incorporate this method into their work.

Being highly specialised, their clients are across Australia but also the globe. They care profoundly about the future of our planet, and are convinced that to make a change we need to take a wider view of the problem and work on the whole thing, not just the parts that are visible on the surface. 

What Lifecycles are doing to reduce carbon emissions

Lifecycles enable their clients to reduce carbon emissions by helping them understand where their impacts come from, and providing them with pathways for improvement.

By sharing the space and its resources with other tenants, they also share the carbon footprint, tapping into commonly underutilised assets. Their Victorian office in Fitzroy was selected for its use of natural light, and it has been retrofitted with compact fluorescent lightbulbs. Virtualisation is also key in keeping their emissions down.
