ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCT DECLARATION
Environmental Product Declaration
An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a short document that describes how a product impacts on the environment. It can be used to prove of a products’ environmental credentials. This is what is known under ISO standards as a Type III Environmental Declaration.
Environmental product declarations are the standardised method to describe the environmental impacts associated with a product. The European Notification sets out rules on preparing EPDs on a range of aspects, industries and environments.
CLS Energy provides specialist advice and guidance to our customers to reduce their energy and fuel use and consequently their greenhouse gas emissions and costs.
Definition
Establish the issue(s) and the scope and boundaries of the exercise, be that an individual product or a company-wide project.
Measurement
Establishing your current baseline allows us to build up a trajectory from which to deliver viable and actionable saving opportunities.
Analysis
Through a comprehensive assessment of your process or activity, we can target and address the relevant environmental impact.
Improvement
Having analysed the above, we can set out recommendations and actions to address your impacts and reduce your emissions.
Continual Improvement
The process rarely ends here, and we will assist you to continually improve the processes described as well as other operations and aspects of the business operation.
