Dassault Systèmes, a company specializing in AI virtual twins, has officially won a project with biomaterials startup Mycel to link Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Digital Product Passport (DPP) with Cofinity-X, the first of its kind in Korea. This project marks the first case of a Korean company being fully connected to a sustainability data system based on international standards, and is expected to contribute to enhancing global supply chain responsiveness and industrial reliability.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a technique for quantifying and managing greenhouse gas emissions throughout a product's entire lifecycle, while the Data Protection Package (DPP) is a digital product passport that must be submitted when manufactured goods are exported. These two systems, which are expanding primarily in the European Union (EU), are gaining attention as key tools for enhancing data transparency in global supply chains, along with the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).

In particular, the response of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to LCA and DPP directly affects the completeness of DPPs for finished product companies, and is emerging as a strategic task directly related to securing competitiveness across the entire national industry. Accordingly, material companies are required to provide carbon emissions and sustainability data in accordance with international standards.

Through this agreement, Mycell will establish a system that publishes monthly LCA/DPP data and directly connects with the CofinitiX dataspace. This marks the first time a Korean company has connected to the official European LCA/DPP network and is considered a practical ESG model with the potential to expand across various industries.

Dassault Systèmes implemented an end-to-end service system in collaboration with Tresworks, which handles data collection and analysis and international standard certification throughout the project, and IBCT, which supports system integration and global network connectivity. Through this, we supported domestic companies to utilize LCA and DPP as a means of securing strategic competitiveness beyond simple regulatory response.

“This contract is a significant turning point for Korean companies to secure competitiveness in the global market based on sustainability data,” said Jeong Woon-seong, CEO of Dassault Systèmes Korea. “Dassault Systèmes will strengthen the domestic industry’s ESG response capabilities through data-based collaboration and platforms.”

“This project is a new industrial model that implements an ESG data ecosystem from the materials stage,” said Mycell CEO Sasungjin. “Based on precise carbon and sustainability data, we will grow into a trusted ESG leading materials company in the global market.”

“This project is the first case of connecting Korea and Europe through data, and is an important turning point for realizing sustainability in the global supply chain,” said Thomas Rönsch, CEO of CofinityX. “CofinityX will serve as a strong link to help Korean companies create new business opportunities through LCA and DPP.”

Dassault Systèmes plans to continue its cooperation and support to strengthen the international competitiveness of Korean companies in various industrial fields.
