Excerpt

Several efforts have been made in the last 10 years to improve and further implement social life cycle assessment (S-LCA)¹ methodology, which, among the three life cycle techniques, is the least developed and not standardized yet (UNEP/SETAC 2013; UNEP/SETAC 2009). Developments occurred in many directions, ranging from aggregation methods for social indicators, definition of system boundaries, data collection, and building up of S-LCA databases, just to name a few. In parallel with the methodological developments, industries and private organizations started applying S-LCA and developed it further by tailoring the method to the specific needs of the sector of interest. However, for confidentiality reasons, these applications are not publicly available yet. And also, because S-LCA results are difficult to communicate due to two main aspects: the method is still under development and improvements are needed, an aspect that hampers the robustness of the results themselves, communication, if not done properly, can lead to misunderstanding by the final users/consumers. …

“Social life cycle analysis” may be abbreviated under the form either S-LCA or SLCA depending on the author.

*Type I and type II S-LCA are described in Parent et al. (2010).

«The EM framework forwards social change via incremental and institutional interventions that promote continued development and privileges objectivity, impartiality, and the search for a totalizing knowledge of the impacts of good and services” (Hobson and Lynch, in this special issue).

About the necessity of modesty in LCA approaches, we underline that the study of «rebound effects» (which evade current LCA methods) is absent from this special issue, whereas it is a social and research major issue.
