For an industrial SME without an imminent regulatory product deadline, yes: Bilan Carbone® provides an overview within a contained budget and shows which products account for the largest share, followed by an LCA of the leading product 12 to 18 months later. If a product obligation approaches (textile labelling, batteries, medicines), start with LCA; the footprint assessment can wait 6 to 12 months. A service company generally needs only Bilan Carbone®. A multi-product mid-sized company can conduct a footprint assessment and LCA in sequence over 12 to 18 months, as the data collected substantially overlaps.
