An accounting standard aligning life-cycle environmental assessments with double-entry corporate financial statements.
General Purpose Life Cycle Assessment (GP-LCA) applies the principles of financial accounting—including double-entry debit/credit rules, balance sheet conservation, and audit trails—to environmental metrics, enabling greenhouse gas statements to be reconciled directly against audited balance sheets.
Provides the mathematical decoupling engine in the Command Centre, ensuring that every kilogram of CO2 emitted or inset is conserved across the ledger without duplicate allocations.
Conservation principle: Sum(Emissions_In) = Sum(Emissions_Out) + Sum(Emissions_Accumulated). Governs the cross-entity reconciliation ledger in the PT-0 Command Centre.
GP-LCA does not replace statutory GAAP financial reports, but rather operates alongside them as an integrated environmental ledger.
