Coca Cola became one of the first major corporations to analyze its environmental footprint, laying the foundation for the methodology used by many companies today.
This ultimately laid the groundwork for governmental support of LCAs through agencies like the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the European Commission, which both released publications in the 1980s supporting the methodology.
