One Click LCA, a Helsinki-based decarbonization software platform for the construction and manufacturing sectors, has secured a substantial €40 million investment from PSG Equity and InfraVia Capital Partners. The platform, known for its life-cycle assessment (LCA), environmental product declaration (EPD), and sustainability solutions, serves a global clientele, including major industry players like Skanska and LafargeHolcim, complying with over 70 standards and certifications. With PSG and InfraVia’s backing, One Click LCA aims to scale its impact by intensifying efforts in R&D, pursuing strategic acquisitions, and aiming to become the primary global sustainability platform for carbon, biodiversity, circularity, and more, underlining a decisive step towards combating climate change in the construction and manufacturing sectors.
One Click LCA’s mission is to power the makers of a zero-carbon future with its powerful, global life-cycle assessment (LCA), environmental product declaration (EPD), and sustainability solutions. The company connects the full construction value chain, from property portfolio owners to manufacturers, applying a scientific approach to measuring, reporting, and reducing carbon — along with the calculation of other sustainability metrics for projects and products in the built environment.
The decarbonization platform supports thousands of customers in +150 countries, including blue-chip enterprises such as Skanska, AECOM, WSP, Foster+Partners, LafargeHolcim and Saint Gobain. The decarbonization platform includes LCA tools in compliance with +70 standards and certifications, including LEED, BREEAM, GRESB and other national regulations, and includes a unique global LCA database.
The platform facilitates analysis of whole-life carbon, LCA, and sustainability assessment for buildings, infrastructure, and manufacturing — including early-stage analysis, design optioneering, benchmarking, and decarbonization tools. One Click LCA enables manufacturers to generate and publish EPDs digitally for manufactured goods and construction products. It also seamlessly integrates with +15 of the most widely used BIM software tools, including Autodesk Revit®, Tekla Structures® and Bentley iTwin®.
With PSG’s and InfraVia’s support, One Click LCA will boost investment in R&D and growth, including M&A across construction and manufacturing verticals with the ambition to become the leading end-to-end global sustainability platform for all stakeholders covering carbon, biodiversity, circularity, and beyond.
“Climate change is one of the biggest threats facing society. With the global building stock set to double in the next forty years, generating 230 gigatons of embodied carbon, we must critically scale-up action to decarbonize construction and manufacturing,” says Panu Pasanen, Founder and CEO of One Click LCA. “We believe our partnership with PSG and InfraVia marks a new phase of growth as we accelerate toward supporting one million users with LCA, EPD, and other sustainability software.”
“We are delighted to partner with Panu and the One Click LCA team to support their ambitions to drive international growth and develop new products to decarbonize the industry,” says Dany Rammal, Managing Director, Head of Europe at PSG. “Our operational expertise and track record of growing international software champions, means that we are well placed to help reinforce and strengthen One Click LCA’s position as a leading force in the decarbonization of global construction.”
Alban Wyniecki, Partner, InfraVia says: “As the world commits to carbon neutrality, the opportunity ahead for One Click LCA is massive. InfraVia has been a significant stakeholder of the infrastructure and construction industry through its flagship investment strategy in infrastructure over the past 15 years. Consequently, we are very excited to support Panu and One Click LCA in bringing sustainability to our ecosystem and more generally the broader construction manufacturing industry.”
