Systems Thinking for Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment: A Review of Recent Developments, Applications, and Future Perspectives (2017, background): “At this point, applications of S-LCA are becoming the main challenge due to data availability and lack of standard methods and tools to gather product specific social impacts data [52,142,143].”
Towards Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment of Alternative Passenger Vehicles (2014, background): “There are still research needs for social LCA and there is no standard usage of a predetermined set of social indicators worldwide [43,44].”
Towards true product sustainability (2017, methodology): “The life cycle perspective has become the foundation of a multitude of concepts and tools for managing product sustainability (Valdivia et al., 2013; Zamagni et al., 2013).”
Macroeconomic, social and environmental impacts of a circular economy up to 2050: A meta-analysis of prospective studies (2021, background): “These indicators can be used to represent the macroeconomic, social and environmental impacts, which are three main dimensions considered in the sustainability field (Valdivia et al., 2013).”
Exploring the Current Challenges and Opportunities of Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (2019, background): “From an employee’s standpoint, for example, hourly wages can be considered as a positive impact as, generally, higher unit labor cost in the production process would mean more income to the labor force [66].”
