EPD
Introduction

Green procurement policies, which are used by governments, large corporations, and institutions, require suppliers to prove the environmental impact of their products. Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) meet this need by delivering transparent, third-party–verified life-cycle data. SKYCO2’s EPD Tool automates the generation of compliant EPD reports, ensuring products meet green procurement rules and market access standards.
Traditionally, procurement teams relied on fragmented data,manual spreadsheets and siloed supplier info, to make verification error-prone. SKYCO2’s platform integrates data from multiple sources, enabling clear visualization of greenhouse gas emissions and comparisons across product batches . With one-click compliance, companies can prepare reports aligned with ISO 14025 and other global norms, making bidding credible and efficient.

EPDs influence procurement in several key ways

Compliance assurance: Automated LCA modeling and uncertainty analysis reduce risk.
Product comparison: Buyers can compare eco-profiles across suppliers, favoring low-impact options.
Market access: Certified EPDs unlock access to green-focused tenders globally.

Case in point

Over 2,000 companies, including Jiangsu Yatai and Schneider Electric, have adopted our EPD Tool to enhance transparency and comply with green sourcing mandates.

Bottom Line

EPD-driven procurement shifts purchasing from cost-only decisions to eco-conscious choices. We empowers businesses to meet these emerging demands with data-backed confidence.

The final EU CBAM transition period reporting window is closing, the last drill before "taxation and compliance" phase; transition needs quarterly reports without payment, full phase requires carbon tariffs with reduced free allowances, dual responsibilities, mandatory verification, stricter penalties; enterprises confirm 6 products, strengthen data traceability, cooperate with EU importers.

CBAM

The core of EUDR compliance is establishing a low-cost and confidential evidence system, following the data minimization principle. It requires providing necessary data around three core issues, clarifying data boundaries and transmission norms, and avoiding compliance and confidentiality misunderstandings.
