Sweden’s construction and manufacturing sectors operate in one of Europe’s most advanced sustainability environments. Climate declarations, carbon limits for buildings, and public procurement requirements have made Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) a routine part of doing business rather than a voluntary sustainability measure. For construction materials and industrial products, EPDs developed in line with ISO 14025 and EN 15804 are widely expected by designers, contractors, and public authorities.
Developing an EPD for the Swedish market requires detailed Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) modelling, strict compliance with Product Category Rules (PCRs), and independent third-party verification. Because of this complexity, most manufacturers rely on specialist EPD consultants with strong methodological expertise and familiarity with European EPD systems. The following firms represent leading EPD consultancies active in Sweden, differentiated by their delivery focus, technical depth, and international experience.
1. ERKE Consultancy
ERKE Consultancy is a specialist consultancy focused on product sustainability, LCA, and EPD certification for international markets, including Scandinavia. Founded in 2007, ERKE operates through offices in Istanbul, Dubai, and London and has delivered EPD projects across more than 15 countries.
ERKE’s work is structured around standalone product EPD delivery, rather than embedding EPDs within broader engineering or project consultancy scopes. The firm manages the entire process internally, including system boundary definition, production data structuring, EN 15804–compliant LCA modelling, PCR interpretation, EPD drafting, and coordination with accredited verifiers and program operators.
The consultancy’s team consists of LCA analysts, product sustainability specialists, and EPD technical authors. ERKE has completed numerous verified EPDs globally for construction and industrial products such as cement and concrete, gypsum systems, insulation materials, coatings, tiles, and façade components. For Swedish manufacturers serving both domestic and export markets, ERKE’s experience with cross-border EPD acceptance and international verification processes is particularly relevant.

2. Ramboll
Ramboll has a strong and long-established presence in Sweden and is closely associated with sustainability-led engineering and environmental analysis. Ramboll frequently supports EPD development for construction materials and infrastructure-related products.
In the Swedish context, Ramboll’s EPD work is often integrated into broader climate strategies, carbon reduction programmes, or corporate sustainability initiatives. The firm emphasises scientifically robust LCA methodologies and alignment with European standards, particularly where EPDs are used for regulatory compliance or public procurement.
3. WSP Sweden
WSP Global operates extensively across Sweden, providing environmental assessment, LCA, and sustainability advisory services. EPD-related services are usually delivered within wider environmental or ESG-focused consultancy scopes.
WSP typically supports EPD processes through environmental impact modelling, validation of product datasets, and application of EPD results in large building and infrastructure projects. This approach is suited to organisations managing EPDs alongside climate reporting and regulatory obligations.
4. Arup
Arup is active in Sweden through its sustainability and materials consulting teams. Arup supports EPD development mainly for technically complex products, innovative materials, or systems closely linked to building and infrastructure performance.
In Sweden, Arup’s EPD involvement is often connected to advanced LCA modelling, research-driven material development, and integration of product data into whole-building performance analysis rather than high-volume product certification.
5. Mott MacDonald
Mott MacDonald has a presence in Sweden, particularly in transport, energy, and infrastructure projects. The firm provides LCA and environmental analysis services that can support EPD-related data development.
Mott MacDonald’s involvement with EPDs is typically project-specific, focusing on material assessments, supply-chain analysis, and sustainability reporting rather than acting as a primary EPD author for large product portfolios.
6. AtkinsRéalis
AtkinsRéalis (formerly SNC-Lavalin) operates in Sweden across infrastructure and industrial sectors. The company offers environmental assessment and sustainability advisory services that can contribute to EPD initiatives.
In practice, AtkinsRéalis supports EPD-related work mainly through project-level LCA studies and material impact assessments, rather than preparing full product EPD documentation as a standalone service.
7. Linesight
Linesight is active in Sweden as a construction consultancy specialising in cost management and programme advisory. While Linesight does not develop EPDs, it frequently works with EPD data in sustainability-led procurement and construction decision-making.
Its role typically involves interpreting EPD information to support carbon-aware cost planning, procurement strategies, and ESG-aligned project delivery, complementing specialist EPD consultants.
Summary
This article reviewed key EPD consultants active in Sweden, ranging from specialist product-focused consultancies to large multidisciplinary engineering firms. ERKE Consultancy is distinguished by its dedicated focus on product-level LCA and EPD delivery with strong international certification experience, while firms such as Ramboll, WSP, and Arup integrate EPD services within broader sustainability and engineering frameworks. Some consultants specialise in standalone product EPD development, whereas others apply EPD data mainly at project or infrastructure scale. The appropriate consultancy depends on product type, export requirements, internal data maturity, project complexity, and available budget.
