Verified Environmental Product Declarations for a Sustainable Future

Our Key Services Include

EPD Preparation & LCA Support

Assisting manufacturers with the comprehensive development of Environmental Product Declarations by conducting Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs), gathering primary product data, and preparing the technical documentation required for an EPD.

Third‑Party Verification Support

Guiding clients through the third‑party verification process to ensure EPDs meet the required international standards (such as ISO 14025 and EN 15804) and are accepted by recognized program operators.

PCR Identification & Compliance Guidance

Determining the appropriate Product Category Rules (PCRs) for your product type and ensuring that the EPD methodology aligns with these rules and global standards to produce credible and comparable results.

Environmental Impact Reporting

Transforming life cycle data into transparent and standardized environmental impact declarations that communicate quantified results for multiple impact categories like emissions, resource use, and energy consumption.

Publication & Registration Assistance

Managing the submission and registration of the final EPD document with recognized programme operators to make the declaration publicly accessible and usable for procurement, green certification credits, and ESG reporting.

What are Environmental Product Declarations?

An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a standardized, third-party verified and internationally recognised document that provides quantified environmental impact data for a product across multiple life cycle stages. Based on the principles of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and adhering to ISO 14025 and EN 15804/ISO 21930 (for construction products and services) standards, EPDs offer transparent information on the environmental performance of products, including the following mandatory impact categories (as per EN 15804):

• Climate Change

• Ozone Depletion

• Acidification

• Eutrophication

• Photochemical Ozone Formation

• Depletion of Abiotic Resources (minerals, metals, fossil fuels)

• Water Use

EPDs serve as a critical tool for architects, engineers, developers, and consumers to make environmentally responsible choices by enabling the comparison of different products that adhere to the same set of rules/standards (Product Category Rules).

How We Create Verified Environmental Product Declarations

Define Product Scope & Select PCR

Identify the Product Category Rules (PCR) that apply to your product type and define the scope, boundaries, and life cycle stages to be covered in the EPD. This ensures comparability and consistency with global standards such as ISO 14025 and EN 15804.

Collect Life Cycle Data

Gather detailed primary and secondary data on material inputs, energy consumption, emissions, waste, and other environmental flows throughout the product’s life cycle. This data forms the foundation for robust assessment.

Conduct Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

Perform a comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) according to ISO 14040/14044 norms and the selected PCR requirements. This analysis quantifies environmental impacts, including carbon emissions, resource use, and waste across product stages.

Compile EPD Document

Prepare the Environmental Product Declaration document by organizing the LCA results, product description, methodology, assumptions, and impact indicators into a standardized format required by the EPD program operator.

Third‑Party Verification

Submit the draft EPD to an accredited, independent verifier to confirm data accuracy, compliance with the PCR, and alignment with ISO and program standards. Third‑party verification ensures credibility and transparency.

Register & Publish

Once verified, register and publish the final EPD with a recognized EPD program operator (e.g., International EPD® System). Published EPDs are publicly accessible and support sustainability claims, ESG reporting, and market recognition.
