About Ecomatters
Ecomatters is a European-based sustainability consultancy firm that was founded by Max Sonnen in 2008 in order to support businesses in using sustainability perspectives to provide value for their business models .
Today, Ecomatters offers services based on life cycle thinking (LCT) and focuses on sustainability throughout the value chain. We support organisations in developing their sustainability strategy and setting concrete sustainability goals. Furthermore, we perform quantitative analyses evaluating the social, economic and/or environmental aspects of services and products and assist in the preparation of product claims, (eco) labels and environmental product sheets.
We also provide advice and guidance on chemical legislation, regulations and product registrations. Depending on your needs we take the full project off your hands or parts thereof, such as developing sustainability calculation tools, creating EPDs, performing an LCA study or support you with your REACH questions.
Our Vision...
“We envision a future society that has no negative environmental and social impact. This is achieved by developing economic opportunities that respect the needs of future generations.”
