The steps entailed in the method include representing the at least one product, process or service as a process hierarchy having at least one elemental component having at least one baseline process associated therewith; associating at least one driver corresponding to the at least one elemental component, with at least one environmental load/substance category; calculating a first metric reflective of an environmental load of providing the at least one product, process or service; and calculating a second metric reflective of a cost of providing the at least one product, processor service.Other References
