Launching today, steel producer Ovako’s new digital Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) tool is the first of its kind to use automated calculations that reduce months of manual work to a matter of minutes Independently pre-verified by Bureau Veritas, the platform allows product-specific environmental data across the steel’s life-cycle to be generated quicker than ever before With mounting pressure from customers, regulators, and public procurement, steel buyers can now stay ahead of the curve on transparency
