Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) & Green Buildings
Since 2008, ASSA ABLOY is leading the way towards a more transparent and sustainable global industry with its participation in the EPD program.
What is an EPD?
An Environmental Product Declaration is a complete mapping of a product’s environmental footprint based on a detailed lifecycle assessment (LCA), and independently verified by an accredited third party.
They provide information in a standardised and consistent way that allows products to be compared with one another by looking at various lifecycle stages. They do not guarantee that a product is energy-sufficient or sustainable, but provides information in a standardised and consistent way that enables you to make an informed choice when selecting one solution over another.
Since 2008, more 250 EPDs across the group
