Applications

The recent attention on the climate issue has created a growing need for companies and organizations to in an objective and credible way explain how their activities affect the climate.

Procurement and purchasing

Using climate declarations it could be possible to compare emissions of greenhouse gases between all types of goods, products and services. Climate declarations are intended to serve as a more understandable and user-friendly part of the information produced by the EPD^®system.

This is valuable information when it comes to the procurement and purchasing, both for business and for consumers.

Reporting

Climate declarations can be used when reporting to authorities, as a basis for eco-labels, but also for public information in various forms.

Internal environmental work

An organisations work with climate declarations provides a good picture of how the products affect the environment, which could be useful in the internal environment work and management.

Marketing

It is increasingly common for organisations to market their goods or services as environmentally friendly. Even in that context climate declarations are increasingly useful, as more and more companies are creating them for their services and products.

Everybody can make climate declarations

All types of organisations can make climate declarations for their goods or services. The size or orientation of the business does not matter because of the general nature of the process for creating a climate declaration.
