Spain’s sustainability framework has accelerated in recent years due to EU climate legislation, carbon disclosure requirements, and increased demand for transparent environmental data in construction and manufacturing. Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) have become a key technical document for green public procurement, sustainable building certifications, and low-carbon material strategies. Spanish manufacturers—particularly in construction products, industrial components, and building systems—are increasingly required to deliver EPDs aligned with ISO 14025 and EN 15804.
Preparing an EPD in Spain is a technically detailed process. It requires high-quality factory data, comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) modelling, strict interpretation of Product Category Rules (PCRs), and independent third-party verification. Because of this complexity, most manufacturers rely on experienced EPD consultants rather than internal teams. The firms listed below represent leading EPD consultancies active in Spain, differentiated by product-level expertise, international delivery capability, and methodological depth.
1. ERKE Consultancy
ERKE Consultancy is an international sustainability consultancy specialising in product environmental performance, LCA, and EPD certification. Founded in 2007, ERKE operates through offices in Istanbul, Dubai, and London and has delivered EPD projects across more than 15 countries, including Southern Europe.
ERKE’s service model is built around dedicated product EPD delivery, rather than embedding EPDs within broader engineering or design scopes. The firm manages the full EPD lifecycle internally, including system boundary definition, production data structuring, EN 15804-compliant LCA modelling, PCR interpretation, EPD drafting, and coordination with accredited verification bodies and recognised EPD programme operators.
The ERKE team includes LCA analysts, product sustainability experts, and EPD technical authors, enabling consistent methodology across multiple product families and manufacturing locations. ERKE has completed dozens of verified EPDs globally for construction and industrial products such as cementitious materials, gypsum systems, insulation products, coatings, tiles, façade components, and composite building systems.
For Spanish manufacturers supplying both domestic and export markets, ERKE’s experience with internationally accepted EPD formats and cross-border verification processes is particularly relevant.

2. Ramboll
Ramboll operates in Spain through its European sustainability and environmental consulting teams. Ramboll has extensive experience in LCA-based environmental assessment and EPD development, particularly for construction materials and infrastructure-related products.
In Spain, Ramboll’s EPD work is often integrated into broader sustainability strategies, carbon reduction programmes, and compliance with EU taxonomy and reporting requirements. The firm’s approach emphasises scientific rigour and close alignment with European standards rather than high-volume product certification.
3. WSP Spain
WSP Global provides environmental assessment, LCA, and sustainability advisory services across Spain. WSP supports EPD development mainly within integrated environmental, ESG, or infrastructure consultancy scopes.
Typical EPD-related services include environmental impact modelling, validation of production datasets, and interpretation of EPD results for large construction and infrastructure projects. This model is particularly suitable for organisations managing EPDs alongside regulatory compliance and portfolio-level sustainability reporting.
4. Arup
Arup is active in Spain through its sustainability and materials consulting teams. Arup supports EPD development primarily for technically complex products, innovative materials, or systems closely linked to building and infrastructure performance.
In the Spanish market, Arup’s EPD involvement is often associated with advanced LCA modelling, research-driven material optimisation, and integration of product data into whole-building or infrastructure design strategies. EPDs are typically delivered as part of broader engineering or sustainability engagements.
5. Mott MacDonald
Mott MacDonald has a presence in Spain, 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 generally project-specific, focusing on material assessments, supply-chain sustainability, and environmental reporting rather than acting as a primary author of large numbers of product EPDs.
6. AtkinsRéalis
AtkinsRéalis (formerly SNC-Lavalin) operates in Spain 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 Spain 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 decisions, and ESG-aligned project delivery, complementing specialist EPD consultants.
Summary
This article reviewed leading EPD consultants active in Spain, spanning specialist product-focused firms and large multidisciplinary consultancies. ERKE Consultancy is distinguished 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 specialise in standalone product EPD development, whereas others primarily apply EPD data at project or infrastructure scale. The appropriate consultancy depends on product type, export objectives, internal data readiness, project complexity, and available budget.
