SPOLD format – Acknowledgement

Many different organisations – especially LCA database and software developers – have contributed to the development of the SPOLD format during the years 1995 to 1997, and many are still contributing to its further development. On this page we would like to acknowledge these organisations for their generous contributions, without which the format would not have existed. Some contributions have been in cash, some in kind (attending our development workshops, participating in the testing phase, suggesting improvements a.s.o), but we would not like to put one contribution before the other.
