Résumé : How can the most important social impacts be identified in a Type II social life cycle analysis? Are they the impacts deemed important by the affected actors, by the sponsor, by the researcher? Are they the rare impacts whose quantification is known, as in environmental LCA? In order to prioritise impacts, the aim of this paper is to propose a method based on the client's ability to act. We assume that the client designates a target population and does not know which impacts have priority, but that he knows which levers he could use to act favourably. The research question is : What are the impacts on which the sponsor can act favourably and which are important for the target populations?. We have carried out an application on the case of a banana plantation in West Africa (sponsor). The steps of the method followed to identify important impacts (and the application in italics) are the following: - Identify the change whose social effects are to be evaluated and the target population; this is the implementation by the plantation of social measures (health services, housing, etc.). The target populations are the households of the plantation workers. -Identify and interview stakeholders who can provide information on the nature of the basic services that are important to the target population; 24 people covering all stakeholder categories were interviewed. -Screening interviews to identify these basic services; 7 services were identified; the sponsor designated 5.-Identify and interview a wide range of people from the target population; 3 groups of 12 working households are formed; 36 interviews to be conducted.-Analyse the interviews to identify frequent gaps, and report them to the sponsor. Work in progress until the end of February 2022. Based on this data, the client will be able to establish a realistic progress contract to significantly improve the services that are really important to the target population.
