Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are becoming an essential requirement for manufacturers and suppliers in Indonesia who want to compete in international markets, meet green procurement criteria, and support certifications such as LEED, BREEAM, and other sustainability frameworks. An EPD is a third-party verified, LCA-based document that transparently communicates a product’s environmental impacts across its life cycle.
As demand for environmental transparency grows across construction, industrial manufacturing, and consumer goods sectors, working with experienced EPD consultants is critical. Below are the best EPD consultancy firms supporting projects in Indonesia, starting with internationally experienced consultancies and followed by strong regional and local specialists.
