Environmental Life Cycle Perspective Review Template
A structured review that documents a life cycle perspective on your organisation's environmental performance. A life cycle perspective looks at the upstream activities that feed into your operations (raw materials, supplier activities, inbound logistics) and the downstream consequences of what you do (distribution, customer use, end-of-life disposal), not just your direct site activities.
For each significant aspect, a card records the considerations at each stage, the interested parties involved, and the risks, opportunities and improvement actions - marked as ones you control or ones you can only influence. It directly addresses the life cycle perspective ISO 14001 requires.
Built for the ISO 14001 Life Cycle Perspective
ISO 14001 requires you to consider a life cycle perspective when determining aspects and controls. This review records that perspective aspect by aspect:
- Upstream considerations - raw materials, supplier operations, inbound logistics, embodied carbon, energy and land use
- The organisation's own operations
- Downstream considerations - distribution, customer use and end-of-life disposal
- The interested parties, and the risks, opportunities and improvement actions, marked controlled or influenced
What's Included in this Review
The review has a header and a card per aspect:
- Header - the date reviewed and who reviewed it
- Life cycle framing - upstream (before us), operations (our activities) and downstream (after us)
- Per-aspect cards - the aspect or activity and its details
- Stage considerations - what applies upstream, in operations and downstream
- Interested parties - who is relevant to that aspect
- Improvement - risks and opportunities, marked as controlled or influenced
Who Needs a Life Cycle Perspective Review?
Any organisation implementing ISO 14001 that needs to demonstrate it has considered a life cycle perspective, not just its direct site activities - especially manufacturers, product businesses and any operation with a significant supply chain or product end-of-life.
Included in the ISO 14001 Toolkit
This form is part of the ISO 14001 Toolkit - example assessments, registers, procedures and guidance for running an environmental management system in one download - and is included in every alphaZ ISO toolkit that covers environmental management.
Pairs with the Aspects Work
It builds on the aspects identified in the F-ENV3 Environmental Aspect Assessment and the F-IMS60 register.
