Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)

Verified Lifecycle Impact for Sustainable Products

View All Product Carbon Footprint & Reduction Services
Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)

What are Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs)?

Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) give a clear, standardised, and third-party verified assessment of your product’s environmental impact across its full lifecycle. 

From raw materials to disposal, EPDs show customers, regulators, and supply chain partners that you’re serious about transparency, sustainability, and performance. Whether you’re targeting low-carbon design, aiming to win sustainable contracts, or preparing for future regulations like CBAM — EPDs are fast becoming essential. 

Why Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) matter

EPDs differentiate your products from others on the market, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability alongside:

  • Differentiate with Verified Environmental Performance: EPDs provide independently verified, transparent data on the environmental impacts of your products – enabling you to stand out in increasingly climate-conscious markets and win trust from architects, developers, and procurement teams. 
  • Empower Informed, Low-Carbon Choices: From sustainable construction to green procurement, EPDs enable engineers, specifiers, and designers to compare materials and select lower-impact options – helping your products become the preferred choice in decarbonisation-led projects. 
  • Strengthen Market Access and Future-Proof Compliance: As regulations like the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and mandatory reporting standards expand, EPDs demonstrate readiness. They align your offerings with green building certifications (e.g. BREEAM) and future regulatory expectations. 
  • Enable Supply Chain Transparency and ESG Alignment: EPDs foster transparency in complex value chains, supporting your organisation’s broader sustainability goals and ESG disclosures — from Scope 3 reporting to lifecycle carbon analysis and Net Zero claims.

EPD feasibility & scoping assessment

We assess whether an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) makes strategic sense for your product, identifying relevant standards, auditing your data, and developing a clear delivery roadmap. This early-stage assessment helps you understand the value, scope, and practical requirements of pursuing an EPD—ensuring your efforts are targeted, efficient, and aligned with market expectations.
 

Our support includes:


     

  • Evaluating strategic fit, considering product type, market drivers, and client or regulatory requirements
  • Identifying applicable standards and EPD programme operators, such as EN 15804 or ISO 14025
  • Auditing existing data sources, including material inputs, energy use, and manufacturing processes
  • Highlighting data gaps and improvement areas, to support robust lifecycle assessment
  • Developing a delivery roadmap, outlining key stages, responsibilities, and timelines for EPD completion
Environmental Product Declaration 1

Data collection & lifecycle assessment

We gather product data and use lifecycle assessment (LCA) software to calculate environmental impacts across the full lifecycle—forming the foundation of your EPD. This process ensures your declaration is based on robust, transparent data and meets the requirements of recognised standards and programme operators.
 

Our support includes:


     

  • Collecting detailed product data, including raw materials, energy use, transport, manufacturing processes, and end-of-life scenarios
  • Using LCA software tools to model environmental impacts across all lifecycle stages—from cradle to gate, or cradle to grave
  • Applying recognised standards, such as EN 15804 or ISO 14040/44, to ensure consistency and comparability
  • Identifying hotspots and improvement opportunities, helping you understand and reduce your product’s environmental footprint
  • Preparing datasets for third-party verification, ensuring your EPD is credible and ready for publication
Environmental Product Declaration 1

EPD development & documentation

We prepare your Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) in compliance with ISO 14025 and relevant Product Category Rules (PCRs), ensuring accuracy, transparency, and audit-readiness. Our documentation process is designed to meet programme operator requirements while clearly communicating your product’s environmental performance.
 

Our support includes:


     

  • Compiling lifecycle assessment results into a structured, standard-compliant EPD format
  • Ensuring alignment with ISO 14025 and applicable PCRs, including sector-specific requirements
  • Drafting clear, transparent documentation, covering methodology, assumptions, and declared unit
  • Preparing supporting evidence and references to facilitate third-party verification
  • Managing submission to programme operators, ensuring smooth review and publication
Environmental Product Declaration 1

Third-party verification support

We manage the third-party verification process, coordinating with programme operators and incorporating feedback to ensure smooth approval. Our support helps you navigate technical reviews confidently, ensuring your EPD meets all requirements for publication and credibility.
 

Our support includes:


     

  • Engaging with approved verifiers and programme operators to initiate and manage the review process
  • Providing clear documentation and evidence, including LCA results, assumptions, and data sources
  • Responding to verifier queries and feedback, making necessary adjustments to ensure compliance
  • Facilitating final approval and registration, ensuring your EPD is published without delays
  • Advising on future updates and renewals, helping you maintain long-term compliance and relevance
Environmental Product Declaration 1

EPD registration & promotion

We register your EPD with trusted databases and help integrate it into bids, marketing, and ESG communications. This ensures your product’s environmental credentials are visible, credible, and commercially valuable, supporting procurement, compliance, and brand positioning.

Environmental Product Declaration 1

Strategic integration & ESG alignment

We position your EPD within broader sustainability narratives, supporting Net Zero, ESG strategy, and carbon reduction goals. By aligning your product-level disclosures with organisational targets and frameworks, we help you maximise the strategic value of your EPD and strengthen your environmental credentials.
 

Our support includes:


     

  • Linking EPD outcomes to Net Zero pathways and carbon reduction plans
  • Aligning with ESG frameworks such as CDP, TCFD, and corporate sustainability reporting
  • Supporting integration into procurement, investor communications, and marketing
  • Advising on how EPDs contribute to broader impact measurement and reporting

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an EPD and why does it matter?

An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a verified document that communicates the environmental impact of a product throughout its lifecycle. It supports transparency, procurement, and carbon reduction goals.

Do I need an EPD for every product I sell?

Not necessarily. We help assess whether a single product, product family, or representative model meets your goals—balancing credibility, cost-efficiency, and impact.

How long does it take to develop an EPD?

Most EPDs take 8–16 weeks depending on data availability and product complexity. We provide a clear roadmap from day one.

Can you help if I already have some data or an existing LCA?

Absolutely. We assess what you have, fill in gaps, and guide you through verification and publication—avoiding duplication and delays.
