Abstract

a social life cycle assessment is a social impact assessment technique that aims to assess the social and socioeconomic aspects of products and their positive and negative impacts along their lifecycle. The focus is mainly on the impact on workers and communities at large, where production and consumption generally takes place.This work is justiiied, mainly because there is growing customer/market pressure on the state of the social and economic circumstances of production and services for products like bio-fuel. Issues like corruption, unionization of workforce, policies and laws in the creation of bio-fuels and its by-products are increasingly being recognised as important as they affect production largely.
