In this waste-aware environment, Architects and Specifiers look for solutions that are fully documented and thought within their built environment. Now more than ever, we see a movement towards data-driven and future-thinking decision making.

Whilst EPDs are a powerful tool for taking into account energy and resource consumption as well as environmental impacts over the entire life cycle, it requires that a product is fully declared across the entire LCA.

Today, it is only mandatory to declare the product in its production phase (A1-A3), thus losing out on vital information for decision makers.

We want to challenge the industry for undercutting decision makers with correct data and have for that reason decided to fully disclose the complete global warming potential (GWP) of more than 40% of our portfolio.

Our CPD presentation looks at the struggles of designing for climate neutrality, allowing the audience to question which direction we need for a brighter future for generations to come.

By the end of this CPD seminar delegates ought to:
1. Understand EPD's (Environmental Product Declarations) better than before.
2. Understand what to look for from a Manufacturer claiming to be "sustainable".
3. Make better decisions for clients and for the buildings they design.
4. Have understanding the benefits of Circular Economics for Hardware and Sanitary Products.
5. Know what to look for under EN 1906 - Test Evidence for Lever Handles.
