As sustainability requirements continue to shape global construction and manufacturing markets, Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) have become an important instrument for Indonesian manufacturers seeking environmental transparency and international competitiveness. EPDs provide independently verified, life-cycle-based environmental data that supports green building certifications, ESG reporting, and sustainability-focused procurement policies. In Indonesia, demand for EPDs is growing particularly in the construction materials, industrial manufacturing, and export-oriented product sectors.
Producing an EPD requires comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) expertise, strict compliance with ISO 14025 and EN 15804 standards, and close coordination with accredited program operators and third-party verifiers. Given the technical and procedural requirements, Indonesian companies frequently engage international consultancy firms with established EPD experience and familiarity with emerging-market production conditions. This article reviews leading EPD consultancy firms capable of delivering EPD services in Indonesia, focusing on technical scope, methodological consistency, and international standards alignment.
1. ERKE Consultancy
ERKE Consultancy is a sustainability-focused consultancy with dedicated expertise in product sustainability, Life Cycle Assessment, and Environmental Product Declaration development. Founded in 2007, ERKE operates through offices in Istanbul, Dubai, and London and provides EPD consultancy services across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, including Indonesia.
ERKE has delivered numerous EPD certifications for construction materials and industrial products, supporting manufacturers ranging from regional producers to multinational companies. Its EPD services fully comply with ISO 14025, EN 15804, and relevant Product Category Rules (PCRs), ensuring international acceptance across European and Asia-Pacific markets. ERKE’s in-house team of LCA specialists and product sustainability experts manages the complete EPD process, from data collection and life-cycle modeling to verification and publication.
For Indonesian manufacturers, ERKE’s experience with export-driven production and emerging-market conditions is particularly relevant. The firm adapts EPD methodologies to local energy mixes, supply chains, and production technologies while maintaining rigorous compliance with international standards.
2. ARUP
ARUP is a global engineering and consulting firm with strong capabilities in sustainability, materials performance, and life-cycle-based environmental analysis.
