EPD Compliance

ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCT DECLARATION

What is an Environmental Product Declaration?

An EPD is an independently verified document that reports a product’s environmental impact across its entire lifecycle.  

As demand for transparency grows, EPDs have become essential in construction, manufacturing, and supply chains. Companies with an EPD win 23% more tenders, meet stricter sustainability requirements, and express genuine commitment to reduce their environmental impact. 

Enistic makes EPD reporting simple, fast, and stress-free. Our expert team supports you at every stage, while our AI platform automates calculations, creates draft LCAs, and streamlines verification.

Measure

Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases that have been produced in the past and are the reference point against which emission reductions can be measured.​

Aims and targets

Targets allow you to judge whether the plans you made to reduce your carbon emissions are working, and whether the reductions achieved are meaningful.

Reduce

Select best carbon reduction projects for you and your business, based on your values, the cost, and likely payback time.

Track

Track your carbon emissions to reflect the changes and compare how well you are doing against the targets.​

Offset

Offset schemes work by paying volunteers, companies or charities to do things which ‘negate’ your carbon emissions, for example, planting trees.​

Certify

Certification is a valuable process that provides checks and balances for the sector.

EPD vs PCD – Which one do I need?

When assessing a product, the right method depends on the level of detail, verification, and disclosure you need. EPDs and PCDs both support credible carbon reporting, but each serves a distinct purpose.  

Choose an EPD when you require a full environmental profile across multiple impact categories, underpinned by recognised, third-party verification. EPDs are the gold standard for compliance, major project requirements, and formal public disclosure.  

Use a PCD when you need a fast, focused assessment of your products’ greenhouse gas emissions across its lifecycle. As PCDs only report on carbon, they are quicker, more cost-effective, and require less data than an EPD. Learn more about PCDs here.

If you require a complete, verified environmental declaration, an EPD is the right choice. 

If you need rapid, reliable carbon data, a PCD offers the most practical route.  

Why should you get an EPD?

EPDs are becoming a non-negotiable requirement across construction, manufacturing, and procurement. They offer clear, credible, internationally recognised data that clients, regulators, and suppliers increasingly expect.  

With an EPD, you can: 

  • Win more tenders with widely recognised third-party verification data 
  • Meet growing client and regulatory requirements with confidence  
  • Showcase your product’s sustainability performance  
  • Support procurement and design decisions with comparable metrics  
  • Improve product design with insights obtained from LCA assessments 
  • Build transparency and trust across your entire supply chain
