Abstract

This chapter addresses the joint use of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) as a source of synergistic frameworks for quantitative sustainability assessment and benchmarking of multiple similar entities. In addition to current progress in the growing field of research in (environmental) LCA + DEA, novel approaches further integrating social life cycle indicators are proposed. This enhanced sustainability scope is expected to further promote the combined use of life cycle approaches and DEA when assessing and benchmarking a large number of resembling entities.
