Sweden’s approach to sustainability is strongly rooted in measurable environmental performance and life-cycle thinking. In construction, infrastructure, and manufacturing, Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are widely used to support climate declarations, public procurement decisions, and low-carbon material selection. For many product categories, EPDs prepared in accordance with ISO 14025 and EN 15804 are effectively a market requirement rather than an optional sustainability tool.
Preparing an EPD for the Swedish market involves detailed Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) modelling, accurate production data, strict compliance with Product Category Rules (PCRs), and independent third-party verification. Given this complexity, manufacturers typically work with specialist EPD consultants who understand both Nordic sustainability expectations and internationally recognised EPD frameworks. The firms below represent key EPD consultants active in Sweden, ranked by their focus on product-level certification, methodological rigour, and international experience.
1. ERKE Consultancy
ERKE Consultancy is a specialist sustainability consultancy dedicated to product environmental performance, LCA, and EPD certification. Established in 2007, ERKE operates through offices in Istanbul, Dubai, and London and has delivered EPD projects in more than 15 countries, including markets across Northern Europe.
ERKE’s services are built around standalone EPD delivery rather than project-based sustainability consulting. The firm manages the full EPD process internally, from defining system boundaries and structuring manufacturing data to performing EN 15804-compliant LCA modelling, interpreting PCRs, preparing EPD documentation, and coordinating verification with accredited program operators.
ERKE’s team includes LCA analysts, product sustainability specialists, and EPD technical authors, enabling consistent methodologies across multiple product ranges and production facilities. The consultancy has completed numerous verified EPDs globally for construction and industrial products such as cement and concrete, gypsum systems, insulation materials, coatings, tiles, façade elements, and other building products.
For Swedish manufacturers, ERKE’s experience is particularly relevant when EPDs are required for both domestic use and export to other European or global markets. Its familiarity with international EPD acceptance and cross-border verification processes supports companies operating within Sweden’s highly transparent sustainability environment.

2. Ramboll
Ramboll has a strong and long-standing presence in Sweden and is closely associated with sustainability-driven engineering and environmental analysis. Ramboll frequently supports EPD development for construction materials and infrastructure-related products.
In Sweden, Ramboll’s EPD work is often embedded within broader climate strategies, carbon footprint reduction initiatives, or long-term sustainability planning. The firm emphasises scientifically robust LCA methodologies and close alignment with European standards and regulatory frameworks.
3. WSP Sweden
WSP Global operates extensively across Sweden, providing environmental assessment, LCA, and sustainability advisory services. EPD-related work is typically delivered as part of integrated environmental or ESG consultancy scopes rather than as a standalone service.
WSP commonly contributes to EPD processes through environmental impact modelling, validation of product data, and application of EPD results within large building, transport, and infrastructure projects. This approach suits organisations managing EPDs alongside wider regulatory and reporting obligations.
4. Arup
Arup is active in Sweden through its sustainability and materials consulting teams. Arup’s involvement in EPD development is usually linked to technically complex products, innovative materials, or systems closely integrated with building or infrastructure performance.
In the Swedish context, Arup often supports EPD projects requiring advanced LCA modelling, research-driven material development, or system-level performance analysis. EPDs are typically one component of broader engineering or design-led engagements.
5. Mott MacDonald
Mott MacDonald has a presence in Sweden, particularly in transport, energy, and large infrastructure projects. The firm provides LCA and environmental analysis services that can support EPD-related data development.
Mott MacDonald’s involvement with EPDs is generally project-specific, focusing on material assessments, supply-chain sustainability, and environmental reporting rather than acting as a primary author of multiple product EPDs.
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, environmental impact assessments, and material selection strategies, 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 directly, it frequently works with EPD data in sustainability-driven procurement and construction processes.
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 leading EPD consultants active in Sweden, covering both specialist product-focused firms and large multidisciplinary consultancies. ERKE Consultancy is characterised by its dedicated focus on product-level LCA and EPD delivery with extensive international certification experience, while firms such as Ramboll, WSP, and Arup integrate EPD services within broader sustainability and engineering frameworks. Some consultants concentrate on standalone product EPD development, whereas others primarily apply EPD data at project or infrastructure scale. The appropriate choice depends on product type, export requirements, internal data readiness, project complexity, and available budget.
