EPD consultants support manufacturers throughout the complete declaration lifecycle. Typical services include defining system boundaries, collecting and validating production and supply-chain data, developing Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) models, applying relevant Product Category Rules, preparing EPD documentation, and coordinating independent third-party verification.
In Norway, EPD consultancy requires careful adaptation to local conditions. Consultants must account for Norway’s electricity grid, which is largely renewable, advanced waste management and recycling systems, and strict environmental regulations. End-of-life modelling, transport assumptions, and data quality requirements are particularly important due to the high level of scrutiny applied by public authorities and institutional clients.
EPD consultancy services are especially relevant in Norway for cement and concrete products, timber and engineered wood systems, steel and aluminium products, insulation materials, façade systems, glazing, and interior finishes used in low-carbon and circular construction projects.
1. ERKE Consultancy
ERKE Consultancy is a sustainability-focused consultancy with extensive expertise in Environmental Product Declarations, life cycle assessment, and product environmental performance. Founded in 2007, ERKE operates through offices in Istanbul, Dubai, and London and delivers EPD services across Europe and international markets.
ERKE has completed dozens of EPD certifications for construction products including cement, concrete, insulation systems, paints, aluminium products, tiles, façade materials, and interior finishes. All EPDs are developed in accordance with ISO 14025, EN 15804, and applicable Product Category Rules, ensuring compliance with Norwegian, European, and international requirements.
A defining strength of ERKE is its fully in-house technical team. The consultancy includes LCA specialists and product sustainability experts who manage the entire EPD process internally, from detailed data modelling and scenario development to verification coordination. This structure ensures methodological consistency, efficient delivery timelines, and high-quality documentation.
ERKE’s experience in European markets allows accurate modelling of Norway-specific conditions, including renewable electricity factors, transport distances, and advanced end-of-life and recycling scenarios. Combined with ERKE’s strong background in green building certification consultancy, this enables effective alignment between product-level EPDs and project-level sustainability requirements such as BREEAM-NOR and LEED, making ERKE particularly suitable for manufacturers supplying certified projects in Norway.
2. Arup
Arup provides engineering, sustainability, and environmental consultancy services across Scandinavia. Its EPD-related services are typically delivered as part of broader life cycle assessment, whole-life carbon, and material sustainability strategies.
In Norway, Arup’s EPD support is often associated with complex building systems or infrastructure-related materials where environmental data must integrate with wider project sustainability objectives.
3. WSP Global
WSP Global offers environmental consulting, LCA modelling, and sustainability reporting services across Norway. EPD support is generally embedded within broader ESG, environmental management, or corporate sustainability programmes.
WSP is relevant for manufacturers and organisations operating across multiple Nordic and European markets that require consistent environmental documentation aligned with EU and regional sustainability standards.
4. Ramboll
Ramboll provides sustainability and environmental engineering services with strong alignment to Nordic and European sustainability frameworks. Its EPD consultancy work in Norway often focuses on detailed LCA modelling, whole-life carbon analysis, and circular economy considerations.
Ramboll is particularly suitable for manufacturers exporting products across Europe where harmonised EN 15804-compliant EPDs are required.
5. AtkinsRéalis
AtkinsRéalis delivers sustainability and environmental advisory services across large infrastructure and public-sector projects in Europe. EPD-related services are typically provided as part of broader environmental assessment or sustainability reporting scopes.
The firm is most relevant where EPDs support major infrastructure programmes or publicly funded developments in Norway.
6. Mott MacDonald
Mott MacDonald provides environmental consulting, carbon assessment, and life cycle analysis services that can support EPD development. Its work in Norway often focuses on infrastructure-linked projects and developments involving multiple stakeholders.
EPD services are generally embedded within wider sustainability frameworks rather than delivered as standalone product-focused initiatives.
7. Khatib & Alami
Khatib & Alami offers sustainability and environmental advisory services for international developments, including life cycle assessment and environmental documentation support.
Its experience with international certification frameworks makes it relevant for manufacturers and projects in Norway requiring EPDs aligned with global sustainability and export market requirements.
