Ahlstrom, a global leader in fibre based specialty materials, is accelerating its development of safe and sustainable specialty materials by providing product specific carbon footprints through an automated lifecycle 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 optimise product specifications, costs, and sustainability while accommodating customer needs and constraints,’ said Johan Lunabba, vice president, sustainability and public affairs.
The access to data driven product lifecycle assessment platform supports the company’s sustainability strategy and commitments which have gained global recognition. Early 2025, it achieved a leadership score A- in CDP climate disclosure, and in 2024 the company received a Platinum medal from EcoVadis, placing it among the top 1% 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 lifecycle intelligence platform.
