molkerei industrie 2/2023 Article of U. Buschmann about sustainability management 

(...) The Climate3-LCA sustainability system can be used in companies of any size. In doing so, it (...) can be directly integrated into the company's processes and used as a true eco-controlling system (like financial controlling). (...) Last but not least, the system provides processed data that are needed for the preparation of a sustainability report. (...)
