What 2.-0 LCA consultants does

2-0 LCA Consultants is a Denmark-headquartered sustainability consulting firm founded in 2000 and based in Aalborg, specializing in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for product footprints, corporate carbon accounting, mitigation strategy, and due diligence. The firm differentiates through consequential LCA methodology that focuses on causality and the actual consequences of decisions rather than retrospective description, combined with custom-built proprietary tools (notably the FarmAhead Check tool developed for Arla Foods, covering nearly 8,000 dairy farms across seven countries) and co-developed data products such as the Big Climate Database with CONCITO (covering more than 500 food products). Its technology stack is anchored on the industry-standard SimaPro LCA platform, complemented by GIS-based spatial analysis capabilities and bespoke client tools.

The firm serves a blue-chip enterprise and policy client base spanning food and agriculture (Arla Foods, Ferrero, Danish Crown, Kangamiut Seafood), logistics and shipping (Maersk), consumer goods and chemicals (P&G, DuPont), energy (Topsoe), and policy/NGO stakeholders (CONCITO, RSPO). Revenue is generated through professional consulting services under a quote-based engagement model typical of B2B sustainability advisory, supplemented by recurring community engagement via industry-specific "Clubs" (Executive, Exiobase Update, Palm Oil III, iLUC, Life Cycle Sustainability, Wastewater) and professional training (LCA Courses). Distribution is direct enterprise sales, delivered through offices in Aalborg and Copenhagen (Denmark), Amsterdam (Netherlands), and Barcelona (Spain), targeting a global client base with primary activity in Europe.
