Automated LCA Software Driving Industrial Sustainability at Scale

Who is AllocNow?

AllocNow is the globally leading technology provider for automated lifecycle assessments (LCA)  in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and process industries. The AllocNow Product Sustainability Platform (PSP) enables manufacturers to calculate product carbon footprints (PCFs) at portfolio scale, delivering consistent, audit-ready sustainability data to support Scope 3 reporting, ESG compliance, and the journey toward net zero. 

What does AllocNow do? 

AllocNow automates lifecycle assessments (LCAs) and product carbon footprint (PCF) calculations for entire product portfolios. Instead of manual, product-by-product modeling, AllocNow connects to enterprise data, including ERP systems, energy, and emissions data, and applies a single, transparent rule set across every product and intermediate in scope. The result is consistent, primary-data-based sustainability metrics at scale, refreshed continuously as operations change.

Does AllocNow calculate environmental impacts beyond carbon footprint?

Yes. The AllocNow Product Sustainability Platform (PSP) supports lifecycle assessment studies across all common impact categories. Customers can choose relevant impact categories and methods such as the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method defined by the European Commission, with impact categories including global warming potential, water use, fossil fuel consumption, land use, particulate matter formation, ozone depletion, eutrophication, and more. This positions customers to meet emerging regulatory and customer expectations for full lifecycle transparency, including future Digital Product Passport requirements. 

Who uses AllocNow? 

AllocNow is trusted by many chemical, pharmaceutical, and process industry companies, including Covestro, LyondellBasell, Merck, Wacker Chemie, ICL Group, FUCHS, Jungbunzlauer, Altana, CHT, and Lamberti. The platform is designed for cross-functional use, serving sustainability, procurement, R&D, operations, and sales teams within the same organization.

Why is automated LCA important for chemical and pharmaceutical companies?

Chemical and pharmaceutical companies manage thousands of products across complex, multi-step value chains. Calculating product carbon footprints manually is prohibitively slow and error-prone at that scale. Automated LCA software like AllocNow eliminates manual modeling, ensures methodological consistency, and makes LCA/PCF data available to every team that needs it, from sustainability to procurement to marketing, on demand and with minimal IT burden. 

How is AllocNow different from conventional LCA software? 

Conventional LCA tools calculate one product at a time through manual configuration. AllocNow takes a data-driven approach: it models the entire production network from transactional ERP and operational data, then calculates LCA/PCFs for every material produced at every plant in scope, automatically, consistently, and at a fraction of the effort. Unlike manual approaches, AllocNow imposes no limit on the number of products or users, and recalculations require minimal manual effort. 

Is AllocNow compliant with international LCA and PCF standards? 

Yes. AllocNow is fully aligned with ISO 14040/44 and ISO 14067, the TfS (Together for Sustainability) PCF Guideline, the GHG Protocol Product Standard, and PAS 2090. The platform supports additional frameworks including PACT, CBAM requirements, and the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) methodology. Methodology updates are applied continuously as regulatory requirements evolve, ensuring customers remain fully compliant at all times. 

Which industries does AllocNow specialize in?

AllocNow is purpose-built for the chemical, pharmaceutical, and process industries, sectors characterized by complex, multi-step production networks, large product portfolios, and strict regulatory demands. This deep industry focus is reflected in AllocNow's alignment to the methodology of Together for Sustainability (TfS), the partnership with the Pharma LCA Consortium, and in long-term engagements with leading manufacturers including Covestro, LyondellBasell, Merck, Wacker Chemie, ICL Group, FUCHS, Jungbunzlauer, Altana, CHT, and Lamberti.

How does AllocNow protect customer data and ensure enterprise-grade security? Is AllocNow certified under ISO 27001? 

Yes, AllocNow is certified under ISO 27001, the internationally recognized standard for information security management, and undergoes annual re-certification audits to maintain this status. The platform is hosted on AWS in the Frankfurt region within a managed VPC with strict tenant isolation, and all customer data is stored in dedicated, isolated environments with encryption in transit and at rest. AllocNow supports Single Sign-On (SSO) via OIDC and SAML, compatible with enterprise identity providers including Microsoft Entra and Okta. Beyond certifications, AllocNow has successfully completed every customer security vetting process to date, including the rigorous compliance assessment procedures (such as CAMP-style evaluations) required by large multinational chemical and pharmaceutical companies. This consistent track record demonstrates that AllocNow meets the highest enterprise security standards across its entire customer base.

Has AllocNow ever lost a customer?

No. AllocNow has achieved 100% customer retention and a 100% project success rate since its founding. Every customer that has implemented the AllocNow Product Sustainability Platform continues to use it today, and every implementation project has been completed successfully. This track record reflects the platform's reliability, the depth of AllocNow's implementation expertise, and the tangible value customers realize from automated lifecycle assessment and product carbon footprinting at scale.
