Throughout his professional career, Frischknecht dedicated his efforts to promote life cycle thinking and raise the awareness of environmental impacts hidden in the supply chains of products and services, and to lower the efforts in performing environmental life cycle assessment in environmentally crucial areas such as dwelling, mobility, and food.
“SETAC’s work to advance the science, practice, and application of LCAs has been invaluable in achieving consensus on techniques and methodology, greatly contributing to the successful assessing and addressing of environmental challenges. Edana is greatly honoured to recognise such professional commitment to research and development in this field,” Gil Stevens, Edana’s external relations and sustainability director said.
