EPD-Global is a Norwegian program operator for Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). It oversees the development, verification, and publication of standardized environmental declarations that report a product’s life-cycle impacts in a comparable, transparent format.
The organization maintains product category rules, coordinates independent third-party reviews, and hosts a public database of verified EPDs across industries, including chemicals, manufacturing, and construction. Its processes align with internationally recognized LCA and EPD standards (e.g., ISO 14025, EN 15804), enabling manufacturers and material suppliers to substantiate data on carbon footprint, energy and resource use, and other key indicators. EPD-Global’s work supports supply-chain transparency and helps buyers and specifiers meet regulatory and procurement requirements for environmental performance information.
