Sustainability assessment is essential for industries to meet global environmental standards. This study explores Indonesia’s Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) database development and its alignment with international frameworks. Through a comparative analysis of LCI roadmaps from Japan, Thailand, and Malaysia, the research identifies best practices and challenges. Findings emphasize the role of Product Category Rules (PCRs) in standardizing Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Indonesia’s LCI development, in collaboration with Japan, aims to enhance competitiveness, improve emissions quantification, and support a low-carbon transition. The study provides insights and recommendations for integrating international best practices into Indonesia’s sustainability strategy.
