ISO publishes ISO 14072:2024 standard for organizational life cycle assessment aligned to ISO 14040/14044

ISO has published ISO 14072:2024 (Environmental management — Life cycle assessment — Requirements and guidance for organizational life cycle assessment). The standard provides requirements and guidance for applying ISO 14040/14044 principles at the organization level (organizational LCA). Compliance teams using ISO 14040/14044 as a required LCA framework (e.g., via customer, procurement, or program rules) should assess whether internal LCA procedures, data collection, and reporting expectations need to be updated to align with ISO 14072:2024 (noting it replaces ISO/TS 14072:2014).
