PRé is a trusted partner for hundreds of companies, helping design and implement an integrated approach to measuring, managing and improving environmental performance for our customers. Since 2011 PRé also has an office in Washington, DC: PRé North America.
PRé develops state of the art LCA software, moving theory into practice. We have been recognized for contributing to important developments in LCA methodology and life cycle research.

Our methodology and clear accounting ensure the highest level of quality and transparency in our Life Cycle analyses for our customers.
