To put this into practice, GMP+ has recognised specific LCA calculation tools. These tools meet the benchmark requirements and help companies comply with MI5.7 Feed LCA.
Why MI5.7 Feed LCA is important
Feed production and raw materials have a major influence on greenhouse gas emissions in the livestock value chain. By applying MI5.7 Feed LCA, companies can:
Measure the environmental footprint of their feed products based on reliable data.
Improve their impact by identifying emission hotspots in their processes.
Communicate consistent and comparable outcomes with partners and customers.
The standard helps you integrate sustainability into your business strategy and respond to growing market and regulatory demands for environmental data.
Why use recognised tools?
Using a recognised tool ensures that calculations follow a uniform method, in line with the MI5.7 Feed LCA standard and international good practice. This creates trust in the results, reduces errors, and supports transparent reporting across the feed supply chain.
GMP+ recognition also means that the tool has been assessed for methodological consistency with the MI5.7 Feed LCA benchmark. This makes it easier for companies to demonstrate compliance during certification.

Nuvio Planet
Nuvio Planet is a decision intelligence platform for environmental footprinting across animal protein, feed, ingredients, and agricultural supply chains. Built on the foundation of BASF’s Opteinics and further developed as an independent platform, Nuvio Planet helps companies move environmental data from reporting into operational decision-making.
The platform connects procurement, formulation, farm performance, and supply chain data to support Scope 3 management, hotspot analysis, supplier engagement, scenario modelling, and product footprint calculations.
Special offer:
GMP+ certified companies mentioning “GMP+ Community” during their inquiry will receive access to a dedicated GMP+ onboarding package, including preferential platform conditions, complimentary early access to selected Nuvio Planet features, and an introductory workflow exploration session tailored to their business needs.
The initiative is designed to support companies in integrating environmental footprint data more directly into sourcing, formulation, and supply chain decisions.
“Environmental foot printing only creates value when it becomes part of everyday business decisions. For the GMP+ community, this means connecting environmental intelligence more directly with sourcing, formulation, and supply chain management.” – Irene Rosique-Conesa, Co-Founder & CEO, Nuvio Planet
