The General Electric Company (GE) established the Ecoassessment Center of Excellence in 2007 to develop a strategy and vision for assessing the environmental impacts of GE products throughout their entire lifespan, from raw materials extraction through reuse, recycling, or disposal at the end of product life. The team, founded and championed by Bill Flanagan and Angela Fisher, developed LCA and life cycle management strategies for a myriad of product, service and technology categories in a wide range of industry sectors including healthcare, transportation, power, lighting, remediation, aviation, renewable energy, additive manufacturing, advanced materials, and sustainable manufacturing. Their inspiring work had a major impact on the design and development of clean, innovative technology and product solutions that help solve some of the world’s most pressing sustainability challenges.

Bill and Angela continue to be thought-leaders in the world of product LCA and corporate sustainability. They are driven by passion and purpose and embed excellence, innovation, and inspiration into all of their collaborations to empower business success and the advancement of sustainable development.

The American Center for Life Cycle Assessment (ACLCA) is a nonprofit membership organization providing education, awareness, advocacy and communications to build capacity and knowledge of environmental LCA. ACLCA membership consists of industry, academia, government, consulting, and NGOs.
