New Guide Helps Businesses Use Environmental Product Declarations to Strengthen Tenders and Win New Projects

 Sustainability consultancy Tunley Environmental has launched its latest guide, “A Guide to Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs)”, designed to help organisations understand, develop and apply EPDs to support compliance and gain a competitive edge.

Many businesses are under increasing pressure to demonstrate the impact of their products across the full lifecycle. Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are pivotal in meeting these expectations, enabling organisations to provide verified data aligned with frameworks such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), BREEAM and LEED.

Data from the International EPD System shows that more than 9,000 EPDs were published in 2025 alone, highlighting the growing importance of verified product environmental data across sectors including manufacturing, construction and infrastructure. 
 
Tunley Environmental’s new guide provides a structured overview of how EPDs work, how they are developed and how organisations can use them. It is designed for commercial stakeholders looking to move beyond high-level sustainability commitments and apply robust data to procurement, reporting and product positioning.
