Abstract

Končar Distribution and Special Transformers, a company in Croatia, has recognized the importance of fighting climate change and reducing CO2 emissions. To quantify the environmental impact of their products, they have conducted carbon footprint studies based on the
ISO 14067:2018 standard and used the life cycle assessment (LCA) method. The LCA covers three phases: upstream, core, and downstream, and applies to various industries. The result of the analysis is expressed as CO2 equivalent using the single impact category of
climate change.
