One Click LCA

The story of One Click LCA began in 2001, born from a vision to tackle the significant environmental footprint of the construction and manufacturing industries. What started as a focused initiative in Helsinki, Finland, has since blossomed into a world-leading, end-to-end sustainability platform. The journey was driven by a simple yet powerful mission: to power the makers of a zero-carbon future. The founder, Panu Pasanen, recognized early on the immense challenge posed by the construction sector, which is responsible for a substantial portion of global carbon emissions. He envisioned a solution that was not only scientifically robust but also accessible and easy to use for professionals across the entire value chain, from architects and engineers to manufacturers and investors.

Over the years, One Click LCA has evolved from a niche software provider into a global force for decarbonization. The platform's growth has been marked by continuous innovation, expanding its capabilities from life-cycle assessment (LCA) to include Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), circularity assessments, life-cycle cost analysis, and even biodiversity impact. This expansion was fueled by a commitment to automation and data, integrating with over 20 BIM software tools like Autodesk Revit® and compiling the world's largest database of construction LCA data. Today, One Click LCA is trusted by leading firms in over 170 countries, a testament to its effectiveness and user-centric approach. With a dedicated team of over 230 experts spread across all continents, the company continues its journey to empower millions of professionals to design and build a sustainable future, one project at a time.
