Ahlstrom to provide product-specific carbon footprint – Life cycle assessment tool empowers customers to make sustainable choices

Ahlstrom, a global leader in fiber-based specialty materials, accelerates its development of safe and sustainable specialty materials by providing product-specific carbon footprint through an automated life cycle assessment (LCA) platform. The platform enhances Ahlstrom’s eco-design capabilities, enabling product innovation through real-time, product-specific LCA carbon footprint data helping customers to cost-efficiently reduce their environmental impact at scale.


"In recent years, we have made strong progress in improving the quality, depth, and coverage of our sustainability data. By leveraging the LCA platform, we can harness big data to create value for our customers. With product digital twins, we can optimize product specifications, costs, and sustainability while accommodating customer needs and constraints” said Johan Lunabba, Vice President, Sustainability & Public Affairs at Ahlstrom.

The access to data-driven Product Life cycle Assessment platform supports Ahlstrom’s sustainability strategy and commitments which have gained global recognition. Early 2025, Ahlstrom achieved a Leadership score A- in CDP climate disclosure, and in 2024 the company received a Platinum medal from EcoVadis, placing the company among the top one percent in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices globally. Also in 2024, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)?validated?Ahlstrom's 1.5°C aligned near-term and long-term targets and the company’s net-zero targets. 

The data-driven approach is enabled by Makersite, a leading product life cycle intelligence platform.
