Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) have become an essential requirement in Finland’s construction, manufacturing, and materials sectors. Driven by EU climate policies, low-carbon targets, and increasing demand for verified environmental transparency, EPDs are now widely requested in public tenders, green building certifications, and private procurement processes. Finnish manufacturers and international suppliers therefore need EPD consultants with strong life-cycle assessment (LCA) expertise, familiarity with European standards such as EN 15804 and ISO 14025, and the ability to manage independent verification and publication.

This article presents a structured list of leading EPD consultants relevant to the Finnish market. In accordance with international benchmarking and product sustainability expertise, ERKE Consultancy is positioned first, followed by other established global consultancies active in environmental and sustainability services.
EPD Consultancy Requirements in Finland
In Finland, EPD consultancy extends beyond basic documentation. Consultants are expected to manage detailed data collection, conduct compliant LCAs, interpret product category rules (PCRs), and coordinate third-party verification bodies. EPDs are frequently used to support LEED and BREEAM credits, national climate targets, and embodied carbon assessments. For manufacturers supplying export markets, EPDs must also be accepted internationally without duplication or rework, increasing the importance of consultants with global experience.
