Description of the organisation of the EPD Owner

NCC is one of the leading construction and property development companies in the Nordic region, with sales of 62 billion SEK and approximately 11 800 employees in 2024. With the Nordic region as its home market, NCC is active throughout the value chain – developing commercial properties and constructing housing, offices, industrial facilities and public buildings, roads, civil engineering structures and other types of infrastructure. NCC also offers input materials used in construction and accounts for paving and road services. NCC works to reduce both our own and our customers’ environmental impact and continues to further refine our offerings with additional products and solutions in line with this. NCC’s sustainability work is based on a holistic approach with all three dimensions of sustainability – social, environmental and economical. NCC´s sustainability framework is divided into eight impact areas: Data and expertise, Natural resources and biodiversity, Materials and circularity, Climate and energy, Health and safety, People and team, Ethics and compliance and Economic performance. NCC reports on its sustainability progress each year and the report has been included in NCC’s Annual Report since 2010. NCC applies Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards, the voluntary guidelines of the GRI for the reporting of sustainability information. In addition to GRI, NCC also reports the Group’s emission of greenhouse gases to the CDP each year. NCC is a member in BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative), which is the broadest business-driven platform for the improvement of social compliance in the global supply chain and has been a member of the UN Global Compact since 2010. The UN Global Compact is a strategic policy initiative for businesses that are committed to aligning their operations and strategies with 10 defined and universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption.

LCA SoftwareLCA for Experts (formerly GaBi Software) N/A
Additional information about the underlying LCA-based informationAssumptions and approximations Various oils and lubricants used in the production process, are approximated with a dataset for lubricants since no dataset or EPD were found for hydraulic oil or grease and the impact is judged to be similar. Transport distances have been approximated together with operational experts at the site, based on location of raw material supply. Since the only available data of explosives are aggregated figures of both emulsion slurry and dynamite, and since there only exist one data set of explosives in Sphera, the same data set are used for these two types of explosives. Fuse heads for igniting explosives and fuse cables are estimated based on values from another site, since there are no current data available. Data regarding the consumption of lubricant, grease and glycol is based on aggregated data for Biskopstorp and two nearby quarries. Biskopstorp is assumed, based on the knowledge of operational experts, to account for a majority of the total consumption among the three quarries. In this way, the consumption of lubricant, grease and glycol in Biskopstorp is calculated. However, regarding the consumption of lubricant, grease, and as well washer fluid, for drilling rigs in Biskopstorp, the data is based on standard values of volumes consumed per drilling meter. The total number of drill meters is obtained using blast journals from the data collection period. The amount of water used in various processes is estimated based on values from another site, since there are no current data available. The consumption of AdBlue for yellow machines is based on data from invoices. For other machines and external machines used, where invoices are not available, an assumption is made with the help of a machine operator. Data on waste are based on invoices from waste management companies. Concerning landfill waste, the total amount, according to operational experts, is aggregated over approximately a five-year period and thus not representative of a normal year. Thus, the total amount of landfill waste is divided by 5. Furthermore, the total amount of landfill waste is also based on data from Biskopstorp and two nearby quarries. The assessment of operational experts is that Biskopstorp is responsible for a majority of the total amount of waste. The waste category “Hazardous waste”, containing oil- and fuel filters, is assumed to be incinerated. Regarding mixed waste, the total given volume is accumulated over several years and therefore not representative for 2022. Based on the knowledge of operational experts 50% of this total volume of mixed waste can be derived from the data collection period 2022. Following a conservative approach, the mixed waste is assumed to be metal waste. The wear of manganese steel from crushers is estimated based on values from another site, since there are no current data available. Allocation The consumption of explosives is allocated equally on all products originating from blasted rock, based on mass. Explosives are not allocated to products not originating from blasted rock. The electricity consumption is known based on data from the secondary crushing and third stage crushing process steps. Included in the electricity use for the third stage crusher is electricity use for office, workshop, and heated storage. However, there is no data on how large this proportion is, and in this case this proportion is therefore assumed based on the knowledge from operational experts. In this way, the electricity use per process step is calculated. The fuel consumption is known for the site as a total. Allocation of fuel consumption is therefore mainly done based on mass of each product produced at the site. A part of the total amount of diesel are however directly linked to the production of asphalt at the site, and therefore this amount of diesel is not considered. In addition to the total amount of fuel for the entire plant, however, a small part of the fuel consumption can be derived to specific process steps, for blasting and primary crushing. The allocation of this fuel is done based on data of the fuel consumption in these process steps, as well as the knowledge from operational expert about which process steps each product goes through. Cut-offs – The amount of oil-contaminated soil due to spillage from machines/vehicles is very difficult to estimate. Based on internal expert knowledge, this amount is deemed negligible and very rarely occurring. – The packaging for the input materials used in the production process are negligible. – Glycol, used for antifreeze liquid preservation on engines, is used little and rarely, so it is not included in the calculation. – Washer fluid used in machines are excluded from the calculation since it is used in a very small amount. – Fuse heads used for igniting explosives are excluded from the calculation since those are used in a very small amount. – Fuse cables used for igniting explosives are excluded from the calculation since those are used in a very small amount.

Explanatory name of the default scenario in module DReplacing production
Brief description of the default scenario in module DReplacing primary production of virgin aggregates
Description of the default scenario in module DThe net load relates to the transport of the excavated material. This is assumed to be 3 km transported by a small truck (approximately 9 tonnes payload capacity). The benefit gained is equal to the virgin aggregates that are substituted. This is assumed to replace the product group with the lowest environmental impact produced at the site (module A1-A3) (conservative assumption).
