Mapping Sustainability is a non-profit organization whose aims and purposes include: the dissemination of knowledge,
the assessment of environmental performance and ecodesign, and the illustration of the potential of green product development and
green marketing strategies; raising awareness of and training on the Life Cycle Assessment approach to sustainability; scientific research on materials
and processes, including recycling and reuse; theoretical and practical training aimed at improving the methodological and ethical quality of research on environmental issues;
and the dissemination of independent information on efficacy, adequacy and safety of environmental labelling programmes,
so that citizens and society can make shared and informed decisions.
In order to achieve these goals, Mapping Sustainability promotes, manages and collaborates on educational, recreational and cultural initiatives through meetings and events of a multi-purpose nature. It organizes targeted initiatives such as workshops, internships, exhibitions, courses, seminars and other types of events, in order to create social get-togethers, informational gatherings and scientific knowledge sharing sessions.
To fully accomplish its objectives, Mapping Sustainability produces and sells publications related to its research, development and innovation activities.
Particularly noteworthy is the mappinglca.comwebsite, a multimedia information platform
where the organization promotes a Life Cycle Thinking approach and makes freely available selected competent information on the
environmental management of products and processes. Additionally, the site illustrates the evolution of the green approach by
presenting case histories with examples of best-practices in Life cycle thinking, and selects and suggests the relevant scientific material on the subject.
