This book gives a selection of contributions from the 6th Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) Conference in Pescara, Italy. S-LCA is a social (real and potential) impact assessment method that aims to drive improvements in order to increase the value of products and services. It helps organizations to plan better, implement more effectively, and promote scale initiatives. More in general, the assessment activity also facilitates accountability and supports stakeholder communication.Consumers are greatly aware of the provenance of the goods they purchase. They have greater access to product information than ever before, also thanks to the new digital platforms. They are also empowered to make more responsible purchase decisions about what concerns sustainability aspects. Therefore the need to linger on the social aspects has been emerging recently. Although the business evolution of environmental methods and metrics has advanced significantly over the pastdecades, tools and metrics to estimate the social aspects of products and services are in progress.In this volume several sections provide methodological developments and tool focus, contextualizing S-LCA scientifically and explore the fields of applications. Through current development (conferences, articles, seminars and industry group publications), the method is spreading, evolving and gaining in maturity. However, it still is an evolving field, and main developments foresee, both at the level of methodology and results, interpretation and communication in order to find a path forward. S-LCA has been changing since the beginnings. From our observations as educators, researchers, practitioners, and peer reviewers in the S-LCA community, there are trends that are of importance us.

This open access book opens up the question on what is sustainable by exploring how to measure sustainability. In doing this, it gathers academic and industry work from different geographical locations which embed the existing political reality. In particular, the practical use of the LCM methodologies and similar approaches are explored directly in an industrial setting to illustrate how to support decision making towards more sustainable practices. Furthermore, sector specific tools are provided to address limitations in operationalizing LCM practices.The book is part of the proceedings of the 12th Life cycle Management conference (LCM), it will include 40-60% best papers which will be selected from the abstracts received and published in LCM conference proceeding (corresponding to 30-50 papers considering the 800 abstracts already submitted). The Life Cycle Management (LCM) conference series is a premier global forum dedicated to environmental, economic, and social sustainability. Held biennially, each conference is organized by leading research institutions and industry experts in the field. The primary focus of LCM conferences is to present practical solutions for integrating life cycle approaches into both strategic and operational decision-making across various sectors, including science, industry, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and public institutions. One central goal of the LCM conference series is to bring together practitioners and the scientific community. Therefore at least 50% of the participants of LCM conferences should come from industry and small or medium sized companies and government.
