About Prelude Analytics
Prelude Analytics is a sustainability consultancy focused on making life cycle thinking practical, credible, and actionable for businesses. We help companies analyze, understand, and reduce the environmental impacts of their products and processes. Our work is grounded in robust Product Carbon Footprints (PCF) and Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) that support informed decision-making and credible sustainability strategies. We bridge the gap between technical analysis and business reality, supporting clients at different stages of their sustainability journey. This includes early product development, scaling production, and preparation for reporting or future verification.
Our approach
At Prelude Analytics, we believe sustainability work should be evidence-based, transparent, and fit for purpose. Not every company needs the same level of analysis at the same time. For this reason, we offer stage-appropriate assessments. These range from preliminary PCFs that provide early insight to high-quality, ISO-aligned studies that support reporting, strategy, and verification readiness. Each project is built on a clear goal and scope, transparent assumptions and limitations, and alignment with international standards such as ISO 14040, ISO 14044, and ISO 14067. Our results are designed to be understandable, defensible, and actionable.
