Data – Critically reviewed

The GFLI database is filled with high quality data based on secondary (statistics) sources and industry data. Through a strong internal reviewing process and an external review from third party certifying bodies, all datasets within the GFLI database are thoroughly reviewed to be:
a) calculated according to the GFLI methodology;
b) receiving the correct data quality rating;
c) using accredited sources and/or include reliable industry data.

Read more about the reviews in the Procedures for a data-in project.

Internal review
The datasets in its final impact assessment form, the lifecycle inventory, and supporting documents such as the data collection report are reviewed. A succesful review shows the datasets are consistently aligned with the GFLI methodology, with complete dataset(s) that are in line with expectations (outliers to be removed), as well as have a qualitative description for the dataset(s)’ metadata.

Have you done an LCA study and wish to comply with the GFLI Methodology? Our LCA consultant can also provide consultancy alongside an internal review to give insight on the work necessary for alignment. Reach out to info@globalfeedlca.org for a quotation.

External review
The GFLI review process is focused on primary data verification, application of the methodology, LCA verification, and impact verification. Understanding how the datasets have been created is crucial to ensure consistency of the GFLI database. Verification of the data points aligns with the reviewing process of the ISO14064-3:2019, ISO-14071:2024 and the PEF review and overall soundness of the datasets.
