This document establishes principles and framework, specifies requirements and gives guidance for the social life cycle assessment (S-LCA) of a product. The framework supports addressing the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and reaching the targets by identifying the enabling aspects from the inhibiting ones (with detrimental contributions). The document provides goal and scope definition, inventory analysis, impact assessment, interpretation and reporting of the S-LCA of a product.
