Siemens has announced a new partnership aimed at improving the generation of environmental product declarations (EPDs) across its product portfolio. EPDs provide detailed information about a product’s environmental impact, including data on CO₂ emissions, energy use, resource consumption, and waste generation. These declarations help customers make more informed decisions by offering transparency and comparability between products.
“This partnership allows Siemens to expand the consistent, reproducible and high-quality generation of verified EPDs”, said Eva Riesenhuber, Global Head of Sustainability at Siemens. “It is a proof-point how large-scale integration of industrial digitalization supports environmental compliance and shows our leadership position in scaling sustainability impact.”
Håkon Hauan, Managing Director at EPD-Global, added: “By making environmental transparency scalable and efficient, Siemens is helping shape a more sustainable industrial future. We’re proud to support Siemens in setting a new benchmark for digitalized, high-quality EPD generation. This ensures that Siemens’ EPDs meet the highest standards of transparency and credibility.”
Currently, EPDs are required in certain sectors such as construction. However, with tightening global regulations around sustainability reporting and compliance, they are becoming increasingly important in other markets as well.
Siemens already provides ISO-compliant self-declared EPDs for over half its products. The company now plans to significantly increase the number of independently verified EPDs following certification of its internal creation process. This move will enable Siemens to efficiently scale up third-party verified declarations with an aim for full coverage by 2030.
