In 2025, ecoinvent partnered with ADEME (the French Agency for Ecological Transition).
This collaboration aims to bring more recent, complete, and transparent environmental data to users of ADEME's Base Empreinte® (Footprint Database), as we provide access to our extensive database, which includes over 25,000 datasets for modeling various human activities and their environmental impacts.
Thanks to this partnership, ecoinvent data will be directly available within the national French database, enhancing its usability for applications such as GHG reporting, environmental labeling, and ecodesign initiatives within France.
Through this collaboration, ADEME members using Base Empreinte benefit from:
- Multi-criteria environmental data, including GHG indicators.
- Access to both impact assessment results and disaggregated data (under ecoinvent license terms for the latter).
- Reviewed and reliable data ensured by ecoinvent's expert review process.
For French Base Empreinte users: For detailed information regarding the terms of use for ecoinvent data within Base Empreinte, please refer to the documentation available on the Base Empreinte platform through your ADEME account.
For discussing opportunities of working together with ecoinvent beyond the existing partnership, please contact sales@ecoinvent.org.
