Applying Life Cycle Analysis as a Tool for sustainability Aplicando el análisis del ciclo de vida como herramienta para la sostenibilidad

Abstract

The present article analyzes how environmental responsibility is applied in the business world, and the problem of using corrective actions instead of strategies. This article emphasizes the use of Life Cycle Analysis as a tool to accomplish eco efficiency. It is hoped that companies change the way they manage their resources along the whole value chain, looking for sustainability. It is necessary to highlight that environmental management is tied to social responsibility, as long as it moves away from the traditional and philanthropic vision.
