EPD Hub

What EPD Hub does

EPD Hub B.V. is a digital-native Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) programme operator headquartered in Amsterdam, founded in 2022 and operating independently following a 2026 separation from One Click LCA. The company provides a self-serve platform for manufacturers to publish, verify, and distribute EPDs in built-environment product categories, supported by proprietary General Programme Instructions (GPI) and Product Category Rules (PCR), ISO 9001 certification, and ECO Platform Programme Operator status. The platform is integrated with downstream construction LCA tools including EC3, 2050 Materials, Twinbase, and NOBB, and the company has signed Mutual Recognition Agreements with EPD Networks (US) and EPD China to extend acceptance of its declarations across jurisdictions.

The business model is purely transactional per-EPD publishing, priced at €1,995–€2,850 per declaration with volume discounts and no membership fees, positioning the offering roughly 50% below traditional programme operators. The customer base spans 1,200+ manufacturers and includes enterprise names such as Hilti, Schindler, Geberit, Uponor, Swegon, Kingspan, Signify, and Genuit Group, with publications skewed toward construction and building-products verticals. The company is small (1–10 employees) but has closed a growth investment from PSG Equity and InfraVia Capital Partners in March 2026, with a stated intent to pursue CPR Notified Body designation and expand service lines including Process Certification and Internal Independent Verification.

Core offering

EPD Hub is a digital-native Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) program operator that verifies and publishes EPDs for construction product manufacturers in compliance with ISO 14025 and EN 15804. The platform combines automated verification workflows with pre-verified tool integrations to enable faster, lower-cost issuance of standardized, machine-readable environmental disclosures for the construction sector.

Product overview

EPD Hub is a digital-native Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) program operator providing an integrated platform for EPD creation, third-party verification, and publishing. The core offering is the EPD Verification and Publishing Platform, which connects to pre-verified EPD generation tools (including One Click LCA's EPD Generator, Concrete EPD Generator, Luminaire EPD Generator, and Electronics EPD Generator) via automated digital end-to-end data flow. The platform supports multiple EPD types — Standard EPD, Sister EPD, Private Declaration, Design Phase EPD, and Project EPD — all third-party verified under ISO 14025 and standards including EN 15804+A2, ISO 21930, EN 50693, and ISO 14067. Supporting products include the EPD Library (over 6,000 declarations), the Wallet System for credit management, Custom Report Templates for branded outputs, and Verification Status Dashboard for real-time progress tracking. EPD Hub issues its own Core PCR (PCR 1.2.1) and GPI (GPI 1.3.1) governing all declarations. The company also offers Process Certification for pre-verified tools and an Internal Independent Verification program for in-house teams. Pricing is structured as EPD Packs (simple and complex tiers) with volume discounts, plus Process Certification fees for high-volume tool verification. Mutual Recognition Agreements with EPD Networks and EPD China extend market reach globally.

Scale indicators10 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Climate Earth: North America-focused LCA/EPD service provider for construction products. Comparable niche focus on building-product environmental declarations, primarily serving US-based manufacturers rather than the EU market EPD Hub dominates.
• Building Transparency (EC3): Operates the Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator (EC3), which consumes EPD data via API integrations — including with EPD Hub. Competes for downstream visibility/utility value of EPD data in procurement and embodied-carbon workflows.

Broad incumbents

• BRE Group (Environmental Profiles / BES 6001): UK-based building science group running BRE Environmental Profiles and BES 6001 — a broader certification scheme that includes EPD generation and verification. Competes for the same construction-product manufacturer customers with a more established UK/legacy footprint.
• UL Solutions (Environmental Claim Verification, formerly UL ECVP): Global testing, inspection and certification major with an Environmental Claim Verification program that validates EPDs and similar sustainability disclosures. Competes in EPD verification as part of a much wider TIC portfolio.
• Sphera (thinkstep): Enterprise LCA/EHS software platform whose GaBi and One LCA product lines overlap with EPD Hub's verification and LCA tooling layer. Targets larger manufacturers with broader sustainability suites rather than pure program operation.

Direct peers

• One Click LCA: Construction-focused LCA software provider and former parent/affiliate of EPD Hub. Now an independent partner via pre-verified generators; competes in adjacent steps of the EPD workflow and remains EPD Hub's most strategically entangled peer.
• EPD International (formerly EPD Norway): One of the longest-established EPD program operators globally, running an EN 15804-compliant program with similar publisher and verifier roles. Directly competes for the same manufacturer customers across Europe and is a natural MRA counterpart.
• IBU (Institut Bauen und Umwelt): Germany's leading construction-sector EPD program operator. Overlaps with EPD Hub on building products, EN 15804+A2 verification, and access to the ECO Portal — competing head-on in the largest single European construction EPD market.

Regional players

• FDES (INIES / Agence Française de Normalisation ecosystem): France's national EPD database and program-operator ecosystem under NF EN 15804/CN. Operates in an adjacent regulatory framework but directly competes for French construction-product manufacturer EPD publishing.

Others

• ECO Platform AISBL: International association of EPD program operators that audits and cross-recognizes member programs (EPD Hub became an Established Programme Operator in Dec 2025). Not a direct competitor, but a governing body whose audit criteria shape the operating rules EPD Hub must comply with.
