Holcim Environmental Product Declarations: How Holcim UK is Leading the Next Chapter in Transparent, Low-Carbon Construction

At Holcim UK, they believe that true sustainability starts with transparency. That’s why they're transforming how Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are delivered – moving beyond average industry data to provide project- and plant-specific EPDs across our ready-mix concrete, cement, and precast operations.

EPDs are no longer just a box-ticking exercise. As carbon measurement and verification standards tighten across the built environment, having access to accurate, verified carbon data at the product and project level is becoming essential – whether you're designing for Whole Life Carbon assessments, aiming for BREEAM or LEED credits, or working towards Net Zero pathways.

Why EPDs Matter More Than Ever

Generic, sector-average values are still widely used in early-stage specifications – but they often misrepresent the real impact of materials. That’s why Holcim UK is investing in a new generation of EPD tools that enable:

Project-specific EPDs: for live tenders or carbon reports
Plant-level accuracy: Reflecting the actual mix design and production location

Independent Third-party verified data: Data verified by Climate Earth and certified to EN 15804+A2 standards
Together, these improvements ensure architects, engineers, contractors, and developers get the real data they need – when and where they need it.
