  1. Social impact categories,indicators, characterisationand damage modelling Bo P. Weidema 2.-0 LCA consultants

  2. Social impact categories • Starting point: Gross lists from social impact assessment literature, GRI, etc. • Divide in inventory, midpoint and endpoint categories • Net list of 30 social inventory categories. Examples: Missing education, Corruption, Missing property rights, Unequal treatment, Occupational health, Trade barriers, …

  3. Social impact categories • Filter out those categories that relate only to activities of government • Short list of 14 social inventory categories that can be influenced by industrial activities • Identify quantitative pressure (inventory) indicators for the 14 categories. Criteria: • Default data available from statistical sources • Credible monitoring possible at factory / company level

  4. Quantitative social pressure indicators (complete list):

  5. Quantitative social pressure (inventory) indicators

  6. Quantitative social pressure (inventory) indicators

  16. Monetarisation via the budget constraint • Damage categories • - Human well-being • Productivity QALY Budget constraint: Potential Global GEP with full human productivity = 84000 USD2003 / person i.e. 84000 USD2003 / QALY USD2003 Compare: $25000 (Human capital approach), $93000 (Revealed preferences), $160000 (Willingness-to-pay)
