EPD – an important tool for understanding products’ environmental impacts

For Södra, EPDs (Environmental Product Declarations) are an essential tool for increasing transparency about environmental impacts. Thanks to EPDs, we can help our customers make informed choices.

EPDs provide valuable insights into which parts of our manufacturing processes have the most environmental impact, so we know where to focus our reduction efforts.

An EPD can provide verified environmental information that may support comparisons where equivalent products are assessed using the same methodology.

 

EPDs mean we are transparent about our environmental impact, allowing comparisons for both us and others. With a life-cycle perspective, EPDs  illustrate a product's environmental impact across the entire value chain.

Our climate impact

Our EPDs mean we can assess how our timber production impacts the climate. We work continually to reduce our environmental impact.

Facts about EPD – Environmental Product Declaration

An EPD is an environmental product declaration summarising a product's environmental impact in a concise, standardised document. It contains the results from a life cycle analysis plus other essential information about the product. The declaration is reviewed by an independent third party and consistently follows a standard. This makes it easy to compare climate impacts between materials and components with the same function, making it easier to choose sustainable options and significantly impact climate change.
