Event highlights
Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) continue to increase in demand across Canada’s building industry because they support efforts to calculate and reduce embodied carbon. Building product manufacturers who have already invested in product Life Cycle Assessments (LCA), pursued their EPDs and maintained them, are meeting market demands and experiencing better business outcomes.
The CAGBC Manufacturer Kickstarter is a four-part manufacturer specific series for organizations who have not yet pursued product life cycle assessments and related market-facing transparency documentation. Participants will engage in peer discussions while learning from a host of industry experts on the business case, the process, and the tools to get environmental product data in the hands of those who are searching for it.
