The company's SaaS platform "EarthSmart" can assess the environmental impact of a product or service throughout its life cycle, from raw materials to disposal and recycling. The environmental impact of changes to alternative materials or changes in manufacturing processes by designers and engineers can also be evaluated and integrated into the LCA design process. The company has also developed and provided “PackageSmart,” LCA software for sustainable package design, and “3Pillars,” software for evaluating sustainable return on investment (S-ROI), to help companies, researchers, and policy makers incorporate sustainable thinking based on objective indicators into their everyday business decisions.
In May 2023, the company established EarthShift Global, Asia G.K. in Ibaraki Prefecture as its Asian headquarters to expand its business in Asia including Japan.
To assist with establishing the company's base in Japan, JETRO Invest Japan Business Support Center (IBSC) provided regulatory and institutional information, consultation (registration, tax, and labor) and introduced service providers (administrative scriveners and tax accountants).
