SimaPro – World-Leading LCA Software
Miljögiraff has been a SimaPro reseller since 2003. With SimaPro, you can assess the environmental impact of products and processes. SimaPro enables you to build a scientific foundation for Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), CSRD reporting, Scope 3 calculations, and strategies to reduce environmental impact.
What is SimaPro?
SimaPro is an LCA software solution that makes it easy to understand how materials, processes and assumptions influence a product’s climate impact. With clear flow diagrams, you can visualise the entire life cycle and zoom in on specific details to identify where the greatest environmental impacts occur. This provides a solid foundation for informed decision-making, from strategic choices to advanced calculations.
SimaPro is available in several versions.
SimaPro is available in several versions to best suit customers’ needs and workflows. As of 2026, SimaPro is offered in both desktop and cloud versions. The desktop version is the more traditional software installed on a computer, while the cloud version is web-based.
In addition to these two software versions, several licence types are available to suit different customers and applications. We’ll help you choose the right one!
SimaPro Desktop
SimaPro Desktop is the traditional Windows-based solution for LCA experts who need advanced modelling, in-depth analysis and full control over detailed life cycle assessments.
SimaPro Cloud
SimaPro Cloud is a web-based solution designed for organisations that want to work collaboratively on LCA, share data, collaborate securely and integrate life cycle assessment into ongoing decision-making processes.
