Life-Cycle-Assessment (LCA) – Databases and Tools
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tools are used to evaluate the environmental impact of a product, process, or service throughout its entire life cycle. Donau Soja publishes LCA datasets on the environmental impact of Donau Soja / Europe Soya certified soya beans in LCA databases and calculation tools, also in the currently very relevant SBTi FLAG format. The data includes values on the carbon footprint as well as data on additional environmental impact categories, such as land use and water use.
The data can be used for LCAs in order to calculate the impact on the environment through the use of Donau Soja / Europe Soya certified soya beans in comparison to conventional soya beans and thus show, for example, a reduction in the product carbon footprint (PCF) or corporate carbon footprint (CCF) for SBTi and CSRD.
LCA DATABASES (AGRI-FOOTPRINT, GFLI)
The environmental impact data of Donau Soja / Europe Soya certified soya beans are publicly and freely available as a so-called “branded dataset” via Blonk Consultant’s Agri-footprint database and the GFLI database. The datasets provide insights into the environmental performance of Donau Soja / Europe Soya certified soya beans at country level, as average for all countries, and are also available in SBTi-FLAG compliant format.
Companies that are interested in conducting Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) or assessing their Product Carbon Footprints can use the Donau Soja / Europe Soya datasets for certified soya beans.
Our data is now available aligned with the most recent SBTi FLAG and Agri-footprint 7 requirements.

Nuvio Planet
The CO₂ datasets of Donau Soja are now fully integrated into Nuvio Planet, enabling partners and members to access reliable, European and deforestation‑free data directly within the platform. This integration strengthens environmental analysis capabilities across the feed and animal protein value chain.
Nuvio Planet is an advanced LCA platform designed to support companies in assessing and managing environmental impacts across their supply chains. The solution is fully aligned with CSRD, SBTi, and other relevant sustainability frameworks. Users can model how changes in feed, sourcing, or production influence their environmental footprint, run scenario simulations, identify hotspots, and make informed decisions based on robust data.
With the integration of Donau Soja data, partners can now access full environmental intelligence across 16 impact categories in Nuvio Planet, including the ability to calculate their CO₂ footprint, demonstrate emission reductions, and model transition pathways that incorporate Donau Soja. All analyses are transparent, high‑quality, and easy to run directly in the platform.

Sustell™
Sustell™ is a life cycle assessment solution by dsm-firmenich, which helps to understand and improve feed and farm environmental footprints.
The Sustell™ Intelligence Platform is a user-friendly web-based platform for data input, measurement and visualization of full environmental footprint results:
- Based on a full Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
- Precise calculation enables tangible and measurable improvements of feed and farm environmental footprints
- Constantly updated and improved to meet user needs and evolving science, methodologies and the changing regulatory landscape and changing needs of animal protein producers and industry
Sustell™ allows you to calculate the farm- and feed-related emissions and shows the effect of changing diets or specific feed ingredients from a variety of countries of origin.
