Driving product sustainability with EPDs in construction

As sustainability continues to drive change in the construction industry, the role of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) has become increasingly significant for manufacturers. This webinar will explore why EPDs are essential for building products and how they fit into broader sustainability strategies.

We're pleased to have Vice President of Sustainability & Regulatory Affairs Ilari Aho from GF Building Flow Solutions (formerly Uponor), a leader in sustainable building solutions, who will share their perspective on integrating sustainability into their overall company strategy. He'll discuss how product transparency is used as a strategic differentiation element and highlight the role of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and EPDs in driving innovation and transparency within their research and development processes.

We’re also pleased to have Erik Björn from One Click LCA, who will provide an overview of the key steps of the EPD process. He´ll also talk about the evolving construction regulations in the Nordic region and how they affect the integration of EPDs.
