Ahlstrom partners with Makersite for automated LCAs
STUTTGART, Germany, 6th March 2025 — Makersite, the leading Product Lifecycle Intelligence platform, today announced a strategic partnership with Ahlstrom, a global leader in sustainable fiber-based solutions. This collaboration will empower Ahlstrom to leverage Makersite’s cutting-edge technology to conduct Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) at scale, while streamlining the tracking and reporting of Scope 3 emissions via an automated, verified and scalable process to report and track Scope 3 emissions down to every purchased part and material.
In today’s business landscape, companies face increasing pressure to understand and mitigate their environmental impact across their entire value chain. Ahlstrom, committed to reducing its carbon footprint, will utilize Makersite’s innovative platform to enhance its sustainability efforts, particularly around Scope 3 emissions — universally recognized as the most complex and challenging emissions to measure and report.
By utilizing Makersite’s AI-powered platform, Ahlstrom will gain unparalleled insights into its products and supply chains. Makersite’s automated LCAs enable real-time analysis, allowing Ahlstrom to build a complete picture of their product environmental and compliance impacts in minutes. This partnership will help Ahlstrom ensure compliance with evolving regulations while meeting ambitious sustainability targets.
“Ahlstrom’s steadfast commitment to sustainability makes them an ideal partner,” said Neil D’Souza, CEO of Makersite. “Our platform will support Ahlstrom in its journey toward full transparency across its supply chain and reduce environmental impacts at a significantly faster rate than traditional methods.”
“In recent years, we have made strong progress in improving the quality, depth and coverage of our sustainability data. By leveraging Makersite’s platform, we can harness big data to create value for our customers. With product digital twins, we can optimize product specifications, costs, and sustainability while accommodating customer needs and constraints” said Johan Lunabba, VP Sustainability & Public Affairs at Ahlstrom.
This partnership further underscores a commitment to fostering innovation in sustainable business practices and addressing global environmental challenges. With Makersite’s powerful data foundation and Ahlstrom’s sustainability expertise, the collaboration promises to set a new standard for environmental reporting and product sustainability.
