myclimate and the Sentinel Holding Institute (SHI) are pooling their expertise to promote greater transparency in sustainability-oriented construction

Manufacturers of building products are increasingly in need of reliable and traceable data in order to present the environmental impact of their products transparently. To support companies in this endeavour, myclimate is entering into a partnership with the Sentinel Holding Institute (SHI). Through the SHI database, the institute provides Europe’s largest database of emissions-verified building products and sustainability characteristics. Together, myclimate and the SHI are making it easier for manufacturers to access Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) so that they can provide key environmental metrics for their products in a professional and transparent manner. 

Why EPDs are becoming increasingly important

Regulatory developments in Europe mean that, in future, the climate impact of construction products and buildings will have to be documented comprehensively and in a mandatory manner. Companies that already provide reliable environmental information today are laying the foundations for tomorrow’s requirements.

EPDs provide manufacturers with a standardised and recognised means of transparently reporting the environmental impacts of their products throughout their entire life cycle. They are based on a life cycle assessment and provide a vital data foundation for building life cycle assessments, sustainability certifications and decisions regarding material selection.


Partnership to facilitate access to reliable environmental information

Drawing on our expertise in life cycle assessment, we support companies every step of the way – from data collection and calculation right through to the final environmental product declaration.

The partnership with SHI makes it easier for manufacturers to access these services, enabling them to prepare early for increasing market demands. The SHI’s network and contacts with manufacturers, combined with myclimate’s technical expertise, provide straightforward access to life cycle assessments and the EPDs based on them. In this way, the services of both partners complement each other effectively and support manufacturers in providing relevant environmental and sustainability information for their products.

Product life cycle assessments are a key foundation for companies to identify sources of emissions and reduce their own carbon footprint. 

With our many years of experience and bespoke consultancy, we guide companies step by step on their journey to net zero. Do you have any questions about life cycle assessment and Environmental Product Declarations?
