Description:
Communicating about LCA can be challenging. The most effective communication format and the appropriate level of detail depend on the audience and the goal of communication. Who are the audiences, and what is communicated to each audience? When the results of the LCA are to be communicated to a third-party (i.e., any interested party other than the commissioner or practitioner of the study), regardless of the format of the communication, a third-party report must be prepared following the ISO 14044 requirements and guidelines (ISO 14044:2006, 5.2).
