Industry Talk: No Data, No Deal: The Rise of Product Carbon Disclosure

As global markets demand greater transparency, sustainability claims are increasingly expected to be backed by verifiable product-level data. Regulations such as the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), together with rising buyer expectations, are accelerating demand for credible product carbon footprints, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Environmental Product Declarations (EPD). This session examines how these developments are reshaping procurement and market access, and what companies need to do to remain competitive.

By the end of this event, participants will be able to:

1. Understand the role of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) in supporting credible and comparable product sustainability claims.
   
   
2. Distinguish between corporate carbon reporting and product-level environmental data, and understand how each is used in procurement, product specifications and sustainability disclosure.
   
   
3. Recognise how LCA and EPD are increasingly used by buyers, developers and specifiers to evaluate the environmental performance of products.
   
   
4. Identify common challenges and pitfalls when starting LCA or EPD work, including data readiness, system boundaries and verification requirements.
   
   
5. Understand the broader market drivers for product transparency, including emerging regulations such as CBAM and growing expectations for credible environmental data.

This session is designed to support industry practitioners involved in product sustainability, environmental assessment, sustainable construction, manufacturing and infrastructure development.
