The International EPD system

Today, the global market has an increased demand for science-based, verified and comparable information about environmental performance of products and services. The demand comes from several market places, such as in the raw material supply-chain, for product development and green procurement.

The International EPD® System has the ambition to help and support organisations to communicate the environmental performance of their products (goods and services) in a credible and understandable way.

The Green Yardstick

The logotype symbolise a yardstick, a standardized tool for objective measurement. The EPD measure the environmental perfomance of products and services in an objective and standardized way.

The International EPD®system is:

  • offering a complete programme for any interested organisation in any country to develop and communicate EPDs according to ISO 14025, and
  • supporting other environmental declaration programmes (i.e. national, sectorial etc.) in seeking cooperation and harmonisation and helping organisations to broaden the use of their environmental declarations on an international market.

The Swedish Environmental Management Council act as the programme operator according to ISO 14025:2006 for the International EPD® System. The International EPD® System is verified to comply with the requirements in ISO 14025.

The international EPD®system is a member of the Global Type III Environmental Product Declarations Network (GEDnet) and cooperate to achieve the GEDnet objectives.
