GaBi is the most widely used product sustainability
solution on the planet
4
• Helps businesses achieve optimal product
sustainabilty performance:
- Environmental
- Social
- Economic
• GaBi is a modelling, reporting & diagnostic
software tool that drives product sustainability
performance during design, planning and
production.
• Powerful LCA tools and databases for product
and process sustainability
Intuitive, interactive
decision-guidance tool powered by
GaBi Software and Databases
GaBi Envision

GaBi DfX
GaBi Software Suite
For:
LCA practitioners
For:
Instant scenario
analysis
For:
Non-LCA experts who
need expert answers
For:
Integration GaBi
with PLM/ERP
Comparable, robust and up to date industry LCI Data underlies expert LCAs
GaBi Databases 2012 Chemicals, Energy, Precious and Non-Precious Metals, Plastics, End of Life, Manufacturing,
Electronics, Renewables, …, and external databases like USLCI, ecoinvent

Import product LCA-relevant
info from an ERP/PLM
for automated LCA generation
Use LCA models for product
improvement or
even to create EPDs
GaBi Envision provides an easy user interface to access detailed LCA models and
create different product design scenarios based on key sustainability attributes.

Scenario analysis and
result communication
• In a GaBi Envision, tables and charts of results are interactively linked with
GaBi model parameters
• Designer does not need LCA expertise nor practice with GaBi since he/she
only deals with a pre-defined electronic report where results are calculated
automatically
• Therefore, a product designer only has to modify parameter values to try out
different alternatives and get instant environmental results in the i-report
• Developed to provide companies product development with a feature to
analyze new designs immediately generate their own Eco-Design tool

GaBi addresses real business sustainability
requirements
Life Cycle Assessment and Carbon Footprinting
• Life Cycle Assessment, Product Carbon Footprints, modelling and simulation of any system in relation to environment, cost and social aspects
Design for Environment and Compliance
• Design for Compliance, Disassembly, Environment and Recycling, integration into BOM Systems
Sustainability Communications
• Communication of results, collaboration, Eco-Design, Environmental Product Declarations
CAD and PLM Integration
• CAD and PLM integrated or embedded GaBi calculation and content provision engine, providing LCA, Carbon Footprint and EcoDesign capabilities
10
• The GaBi Database Manager shows the database content
• GaBi is an object-oriented software system
• Comparable functionality to Microsoft Windows Explorer
• Hierarchical information storage
• Drag and drop of objects
• Right mouse button function with changing content

Main Objects in GaBi
• The framework for calculation of Life Cycle Assessments are the ISO-standards
14040/14044
• ISO definition:
• Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the compiling and evaluation of the input and
outputs and the potential environmental impacts of a product system during its
lifetime.
• The results of Life Cycle Assessments are:
• A quantification of the inputs and outputs for a product life cycle
Life Cycle Inventory
• A quantification of the potential environmental impacts e.g. Global Warming Potential,
Acidification Potential, Ozone Depletion Potential
