Lunch & Learn 2026: Whole Life Cycle Assessment - From Compliance to Competitive Advantage

Is your organisation treating Whole Life Cycle Assessment as just a compliance requirement – or as a strategic advantage?

As climate regulations tighten and expectations around transparency increase, Whole Life Cycle Assessment (WLCA) is becoming a critical tool for the built environment sector.

But leading organisations are going beyond compliance. They are using WLCA to identify carbon hotspots, improve design decisions, reduce lifecycle emissions, and gain a competitive edge.

Join this IGBC Lunch & Learn for a practical introduction to WLCA and learn how lifecycle thinking can support better project outcomes and stronger climate performance.
