History
SimaPro started with a simple question: how can we measure environmental impact? In 1990, Mark Goedkoop — eco-designer and founder of SimaPro — set out to make life cycle assessment easier to apply in practice. In collaboration with CML Leiden, the first version of SimaPro was developed to bring scientific methods into everyday decision-making. Today, SimaPro is used by industry and academia in more than 90 countries to model supply chains, identify environmental hotspots, and support product development, sustainability strategy, and reporting. With over 35 years of development, SimaPro is described as a cornerstone of the global LCA community and has been part of the One Click LCA group since 2025. While SimaPro focuses on software innovation, PRé Sustainability remains the dedicated brand for expert consulting services.
