A Climate Declaration is a stand-alone declaration of the global warming potential of a product. A Climate Declaration assists an organisation to better communicate and manage their carbon emissions. It refers to an EPD for full information.
All Australasian EPD’s must include verified data on the global warming potential of their product so there is no additional charge for creating a Climate Declaration.
When an EPD is registered with The Australasian EPD Programme, a Climate Declaration may also be registered by request on the registration form.
All Climate Declarations for holders of Australasian EPDs can be found by searching for the term Climate Declaration in EPD search.
Organisations with Australasian EPDs are also eligible for a streamlined certification process as part of the Australian Government’s National Carbon Offset Standard (NCOS) for Products and Services. This NCOS Standard can be used to obtain carbon neutral certification and credibly claim carbon neutrality.
The streamlined certification process is explained in a guideline Carbon neutral certification and Environmental Product Declarations which is available here.
