Resumen

The Organisation Environmental Footprint (OEF) is a multi-criteria measure of the environmentalperformance of an organisation performed with a life cycle perspective (Life-Cycle Assessment, LCA).This multi-criteria analysis involves the collection and evaluation of inputs (consumption), outputs(emissions, waste, etc.) and impacts derived from a specific activity. The objective of this work is tocalculate the OEF of the academic activity of the Faculty of Engineering-Bilbao (FEB), of the Universityof the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). This work was performed by a multidisciplinary team of professorsand research staff, administration and service staff and students of the UPV/EHU.The calculation methodology was developed within the LCA approach, using as a referencethe Organisation Environmental Footprint Guide promoted by the European Commission in 2013.Firstly, input and output data flows of the FEB activity, including transport, were collected. Next,environmental and social impacts of the academic activity were modelled, using Ecoinvent 3.3 and Socav1 databases in openLCA software. In order to evaluate the environmental impacts, CML and ReCiPeLCIA methods were used. The Social Impact Weighting Method provided by openLCA and Soca wasadjusted for the assessment of specific social impacts.Results indicate that, excluded transport, energy consumption is the flow with the greatestenvironmental impact, followed by the consumption of material resources and, finally, waste treatment.Otherwise, most impacts (>50%) are located outside the Autonomous Community of the BasqueCountry. Regarding transport needs, although considered an upstream (indirect) activity, relatedimpacts imply an important contribution. The assessment of some social impacts also shows a significantrepercussion outside the Basque Country. Based on the results obtained, this work recommends someimprovement actions to reduce environmental and social impacts of the FEB activity.
