Internal sustainability initiatives are becoming operational, not aspirational. Prioritisation, scenario modelling, portfolio steering, and improvement tracking now depend on structured, comparable product data.

In December 2025, the EU Council and Parliament reached an agreement to simplify sustainability reporting and due diligence requirements. The stated goal is clear: reduce administrative burden and improve competitiveness, without weakening accountability.

Visit Prodikt & EandoX at the BIMobject (Bim.com) booth C02:11 and talk directly to experts in product sustainability data and digital product information.

The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is quickly moving from policy concept to practical requirement. For manufacturers and product companies, it marks a shift in how product information is created, managed, and shared across the value chain.

Sustainability data is everywhere, and yet, in many organisations, it reaches almost no one. Over the past decade, companies have invested heavily in life cycle assessments, environmental product declarations, supplier data collection, and reporting frameworks. The volume and quality of sustainability data has improved dramatically. Still, the same frustration keeps surfacing internally: the data exists, but it doesn’t travel. It doesn’t inform product decisions, guide procurement, or support leadership conversations in the moments where it could actually make a difference.

Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are no longer just a compliance checkbox. For many manufacturers, they are becoming a recurring operational task — one that touches product development, procurement, sustainability, and external communication.

AI is one of those words that can subtly change the atmosphere in a room. Bring it up in conversations about environmental product data — EPDs, LCAs, product carbon footprints — and curiosity is often mixed with hesitation. Questions surface quickly. How are calculations affected? What if it hallucinates? Can results still be verified? Will the data be harder to explain when someone asks where a number comes from?

Manufacturers across industries are facing a new reality: environmental product declarations (EPDs) and product carbon footprints are no longer occasional reporting exercises. They are becoming ongoing, product-level requirements, driven by regulation, customer expectations, and internal sustainability goals.

Sustainability reporting is becoming part of everyday business life. Expectations are increasing, but so is the potential for sustainability data to play a more meaningful role in how products are developed, evaluated, and improved.

For years, Life Cycle Assessment has been treated as a technical exercise — something necessary, important, but fundamentally separate from product and business decisions. The work happened downstream, often under time pressure, and usually in response to an external request: an EPD, a customer questionnaire, a regulatory deadline. That model no longer holds.

Sustainable design increasingly depends on verified environmental data — not only to meet regulatory requirements, but to support better decisions across design, procurement, and product development. As Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) become more widely used, the way they are created and maintained is becoming just as important as the data itself.

Over the past decade, sustainability work has become inseparable from complex digital systems. What once involved relatively contained LCA models or product-level assessments is now embedded in enterprise platforms, automated reporting pipelines, and increasingly, AI-driven analysis. This evolution has brought undeniable efficiency gains. It has also introduced a quieter, more structural risk: the gradual loss of transparency in how sustainability results are produced.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are no longer confined to a single industry. Today, sustainability teams are increasingly expected to work across buildings, infrastructure projects, and enterprise-scale manufacturing portfolios, often using the same underlying data.

Sustainability teams are moving away from project-based reporting as environmental data demands increase. From EPD updates to product-level decision support, one-off assessments no longer scale. In this article, Anna Liljenroth, LCA specialist at CarbonZero, shares why reusable sustainability data is reshaping how teams work and what this shift enables across sustainability, product, and procurement functions.

Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are no longer a niche requirement. By 2026, EPDs sit at the center of regulatory compliance, procurement decisions, and low-carbon design across construction and manufacturing.

Sustainable design is no longer driven by intent alone — it is increasingly shaped by data, documentation, and the ability to prove environmental performance across the full lifecycle of a building or product. As regulatory pressure rises and digital design workflows mature, automated Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) output and BIM integrations are becoming critical enablers for scalable, data-driven decision-making.

For years, sustainability and product data have lived in documents: PDFs, spreadsheets, emails, attachments sent back and forth when someone asks for proof. That era is ending.

As 2026 approaches, many manufacturers are sensing that sustainability regulation in the EU is entering a new phase. Not necessarily because all rules are finalized — many details are still evolving — but because the direction is becoming clearer.

Manufacturers across Europe face growing pressure to deliver accurate, verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). Public procurement, large customers, and evolving regulations such as EN 15804, CSRD, CBAM, and Digital Product Passports (DPPs) all rely on structured environmental product data — and they demand more precision than ever before.

As 2026 approaches, Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are becoming a central requirement in both construction and manufacturing. Public procurement, major clients, and EU regulations such as EN 15804, CSRD, CBAM, and the Digital Product Passport are creating a rapidly expanding demand for accurate, up-to-date environmental product data.

The Digital Product Passport (DPP), introduced under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), is becoming one of the EU’s most transformative tools for product traceability, lifecycle transparency, and circular economy performance. It will require manufacturers to store, maintain, and update machine-readable, standardised product data throughout the entire product lifecycle.

Sustainability is no longer just a corporate responsibility—it’s a strategic advantage. Anna Palminger, Business Development Manager Sustainability, shares insights on how accurate data and AI-driven analysis can help companies navigate complex supply chains and turn sustainability into a driver of success.

Creating an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) can often feel like navigating a maze of data and compliance requirements. Traditionally, EPD creation is a time-consuming and resource-intensive process, involving complex calculations, manual data handling, and significant verification efforts. With EandoX, this process becomes intuitive, efficient, and straightforward.

Deep-linked product data, encompassing comprehensive information on product lifecycles and environmental impacts, is crucial for CSRD reporting. Utilizing such data ensures compliance and provides valuable insights for sustainable business practices.

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) mandates detailed reporting on product lifecycles and environmental impacts. Accurate and up-to-date product data is essential for compliance, enabling companies to effectively assess and communicate their sustainability performance.

As regulations are continuing to be implemented, companies face increasing demands to disclose their products’ environmental impact. EandoX provides a solution to tackle this challenge by offering reliable and automated product sustainability data.

AI is transforming sustainability compliance, and EandoX is leading the way. We sat down with Daniel Olausson, Chief Product Officer at BIMobject and Co-Founder at Carbonzero, to discuss how AI-powered features - currently in development - will streamline data collection, enhance reporting, and help companies stay ahead of regulations. Here’s what he had to say.

Sustainability reporting is becoming increasingly complex. Organizations must manage vast datasets across global supply chains while meeting regulatory standards such as ESRS. AI agents are proving essential in overcoming these challenges.

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is changing the rules of ESG reporting. Starting in 2024, large companies must align their data collection with these new requirements, with first reports due in 2025. Reliable, complete, and auditable ESG data is now essential—not just for compliance, but also for strategic decision-making and investor confidence.

With the CSRD taking effect, companies face a growing need to collect, validate, and report sustainability data accurately. This includes tracking environmental risks, social impacts, and governance practices — all while ensuring data is audit-ready.

As the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) reshapes sustainability reporting, companies need reliable tools to meet its requirements. Two critical instruments have emerged: Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and product passports.

The built environment, our offices, homes, factories, and infrastructure, is responsible for around 40% of global carbon emissions. Tackling this challenge is urgent, but it’s also one of the most complex areas of climate action. At EandoX, we believe the path forward starts with better data, and AI is the key to unlocking it.

First, let’s explore why EPDs are so challenging to create. While invaluable for promoting transparency and sustainability, the process of creating them can often feel overwhelming. Here’s why!
