Case Study: ANTER helps Italian families understand and improve their environmental footprint with Sphera's LCA-powered Environmental Footprint Calculator

Understand Your Impacts Improve Your Footprint

Anter, an Italian non-profit promoting sustainability and renewable energy with over 290,000 members, needed to launch the “Voluntary Chart of the Sustainable Citizen” to raise household environmental awareness and improve families’ footprints. The organization required a scientifically grounded, user‑friendly Environmental Footprint tool that could produce year‑by‑year and respondent‑vs‑average comparisons, explain LCA methodology, collect daily best practices, and be developed quickly — so they engaged Sphera (using GaBi LCA software and GaBi Envision) to help build the solution.

Sphera supported questionnaire development, created the LCA calculation model with GaBi software and databases, and delivered an Environmental Footprint Calculator via GaBi Envision that Anter can operate autonomously. The result is a cost‑efficient, easy‑to‑use platform that generates individualized footprint reports without in‑house LCA expertise, enables comparisons and educational content, and empowered Anter to launch its awareness campaign and engage families toward more eco‑sustainable lifestyles.
