An EPD (or Environmental Product Declaration) is a detailed, independently verified document reporting a wide range of the environmental impacts of a product. To create one, a manufacturer or supplier compiles detailed information about the product including:
In addition, they will also use “scenario-based assumptions” to estimate impacts during use and at the end of life to create an assessment that considers impacts across the whole lifecycle of the product.
An EPD lays this information out in a consistent format, making it easy to draw fair comparisons between different products. This ensures that designers and contractors can make informed decisions about the products they specify.

We have grouped products to provide family-level EPDs which cover a wide range of our products. Because we have such a complex manufacturing and logistics operation, we’ve taken proportional averages across all our ranges and factories to provide a fair reflection of each product’s impact, regardless of the site it was manufactured at.
