From Data to Declaration: Simplifying the EPD Process

Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are quickly becoming a key requirement for manufacturers across Asia-Pacific, whether you’re pursuing certification through the Singapore Green Building Product (SGBP) programme, bidding for low-carbon construction projects, or aligning with regional standards. But for many organisations, the EPD process still feels overly technical, resource-intensive, and unclear.

In this session, experts from Zevero and Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC) will demystify the EPD journey, breaking down what’s required, where companies get stuck, and how to streamline the process with the right data and tools. You’ll learn how to go from raw inputs to a third-party verified declaration, and how to ensure your EPDs support regional certifications, procurement opportunities, and increasing demands for transparency.

Date: Thursday, September 25

Time: 11:00 AM SGT

Here’s what we’ll cover:

• ​​The core components of a credible EPD, plus why they matter for certification & market access
• How to approach data collection and lifecycle modelling without overloading internal teams
• Tools and best practices to streamline the EPD process from start to finish
• How to align your product declarations with programmes like SGBP
• How the A*STAR grant can help cover the cost of EPDs 

Whether you’re responding to customer demands or preparing for certification, this session will give you a clear path forward with practical steps you can start implementing right away.
