Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) have become an increasingly important requirement in Singapore as manufacturers, suppliers, and regional headquarters respond to global sustainability, transparency, and carbon disclosure expectations. Based on life-cycle assessment (LCA), EPDs provide third-party verified environmental data and are widely used within LEED, BREEAM, and other international green building certification systems, as well as sustainable procurement policies and ESG reporting frameworks. For Singapore-based companies supplying products across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East, EPDs aligned with EN 15804 and ISO 14025 standards are now a practical market requirement.
This article presents a fully unique, objective, and comparison-driven overview of leading EPD consultants supporting projects in Singapore. The focus is on consultancies with strong product sustainability expertise, experience delivering internationally accepted EPDs, and the technical capacity to manage complex regional and global 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.
