There several other important initiatives that focus or at least cover social impacts. The Social LC Alliance is defenitely an importat development. The articles below try to summarise the most relevant, but please add or comment as you like.

The EU funded Horizon 2020 project orienting, is developing and testing a Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment methodology which combines 5 pillars

  1. Social LCA
  2. Environmental LCA
  3. Life Cycle Costing
  4. Circularity
  5. Supplyrisks.

In the social pillar many publications and datasources are evaluated and there is a genuine attempt to harmonise the social topics in the Handbook with those in the LCA guidance. There is also a workpackage to develop software specifications for a tool that can combine all these pillars. Who knows, one day we will have this.
