A study by the RISE Laboratory at the Università di Brescia analyzed how 75 manufacturing companies approach product Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies and the preparation of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). This topic is not only of “technical” relevance to environmental sustainability but also has significant implications for customer relations, marketing decisions, compliance, organizational structure, skills development, and data management.
Furthermore, with the implementation of the new provisions of the Empowering Consumers Directive, the fight against greenwashing makes it even more important to base environmental communication on solid and verifiable evidence, as does the future shift toward the Digital Product Passport
We will present and discuss the research findings together with company executives at the event:
