Spain’s transition toward low-carbon construction and manufacturing is closely linked to EU climate policy, green public procurement rules, and increasing demand for transparent environmental data. Within this framework, Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) have become a core technical requirement for construction materials, building products, and industrial components. EPDs are frequently requested for public tenders, sustainable building certifications, and export-driven product portfolios, and are typically prepared in accordance with ISO 14025 and EN 15804.
Producing an EPD in Spain is a structured and technically demanding process. It requires detailed Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) modelling, high-quality production data, strict interpretation of Product Category Rules (PCRs), and independent third-party verification by approved program operators. For this reason, Spanish manufacturers generally rely on specialist EPD consultants rather than handling certification internally. The firms listed below represent leading EPD consultancies active in Spain, differentiated by their focus on product-level certification, methodological depth, and international delivery capability.
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 delivers EPD projects across more than 15 countries, including Southern and Western Europe.
ERKE’s consultancy model is structured around dedicated product EPD delivery rather than embedding EPDs within broader engineering or design scopes. The firm manages the complete EPD process 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.
ERKE’s team includes LCA analysts, product sustainability specialists, and EPD technical authors, enabling consistent methodology across multiple product families and manufacturing sites. The consultancy has completed dozens of verified EPDs globally for construction and industrial products such as cement and concrete, gypsum systems, insulation materials, coatings, tiles, façade systems, and composite building products.
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, especially where products must meet requirements across multiple European markets.

2. Ramboll
Ramboll operates in Spain through its European sustainability and environmental consulting teams. Ramboll has extensive experience in LCA-based assessment and EPD development, particularly for construction materials and infrastructure-related products.
In Spain, Ramboll’s EPD work is often delivered as part of broader sustainability strategies, carbon reduction programmes, or compliance with EU taxonomy and reporting frameworks. The firm emphasises scientific robustness and alignment with European standards, making it suitable for manufacturers integrating EPDs into wider environmental management systems.
3. WSP Spain
WSP Global provides environmental assessment, LCA, and sustainability advisory services across Spain. WSP supports EPD development primarily within integrated environmental, ESG, or infrastructure consultancy scopes.
EPD-related services typically include environmental impact modelling, validation of production datasets, and interpretation of EPD results for large construction and infrastructure projects. This approach is well suited to large organisations managing EPDs alongside regulatory compliance, climate reporting, and portfolio-level sustainability objectives.
4. Arup
Arup is active in Spain through its sustainability and materials consulting teams. Arup supports EPD development mainly 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 holistic building or infrastructure design strategies. EPDs are typically delivered as part of broader engineering or sustainability engagements rather than high-volume product certification programmes.
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, especially where products are linked to infrastructure delivery.
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. Direct preparation of product-specific EPD documents is typically secondary to broader infrastructure and industrial consultancy scopes.
7. Linesight
Linesight is active in Spain as a construction consultancy specialising in cost management and programme advisory. While Linesight does not prepare 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 rather than replacing them.
Summary
This article reviewed leading EPD consultants active in Spain, covering both specialist product-focused consultancies and large multidisciplinary firms. 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 specialise in standalone product EPD development, whereas others primarily apply EPD data at project or infrastructure scale. The most appropriate choice depends on product type, export requirements, internal data readiness, project complexity, and available budget.
