Global GreenTag Environmental Product Declarations - EPD and CarbonRATE™
The Global GreenTag Environmental Product Declarations (GreenTag EPDs) provide Life Cycle Analysis summary results about products' environmental impacts for manufacturers who want to take their products further in green markets – especially on projects using green rating tools and undertaking whole project Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) credits in those tools.

"We learned to know our products a lot better through GreenTag certification ... We have definitely been able to be specified on larger projects and also with the EPDs Internationally as well (with ISO 14025 projects, including for Google, New York University in Abu Dhabi and Howard University)."
Helle Rex, Marketing Project & CSR Manager, Howe (2018)
GreenTag EPDs provide the deep Life Cycle Information that benchmark sustainability projects require.
Products are assessed under an ISO 14025 compliant Environmental Product Declaration Program, and where requested or relevant to local scheme requirements, a GreenTag EPD can also be reported in accordance with ISO 21930 or EN 15804.
Used around the globe, relevant GreenTag EPDs are compliant with the following green building rating tool credits, including:
- LEED® (in over 167 countries, including USA and China);
- BREEAM® (in more than 78 countries, including UK, EU and China);
- Green Star® (used in over 56 countries, including Australia, New Zealand and Africa) and,
- The Infrastructure Sustainability 'IS' tool that is used in over 5 countries, including Australia, NZ and China.
Once GreenTag EPDs are completed, GreenTag also awards each product with a CarbonRATE™ TAG that provides instant visibility of a product's carbon performance metrics - beneficial for projects in countries like the EU, China and NZ that are rapidly expanding levels of renewable or clean energy in their supply chains due to legislation and market movements.
