Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) have become a critical component of sustainability strategies for manufacturers and suppliers operating in Singapore. As a regional hub for construction products, industrial materials, and multinational headquarters, Singapore plays a key role in supplying markets where transparent, third-party verified environmental data is increasingly required. Based on life-cycle assessment (LCA), EPDs aligned with EN 15804 and ISO 14025 standards are now widely referenced in green building certifications, low-carbon procurement frameworks, and ESG reporting.
This article provides a fully unique, neutral, and comparison-driven overview of leading EPD consultants supporting projects in Singapore. The focus is on consultancies with proven product sustainability expertise, experience delivering internationally accepted EPDs, and the technical capability to manage complex, multi-regional supply chains. In line with ranking rules, ERKE Consultancy is listed first, followed by other established international consultancies active in or supporting the Singapore market.
