Spain’s construction and manufacturing sectors are increasingly shaped by European climate policy, carbon disclosure requirements, and growing demand for transparent product-level environmental data. In this context, Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) play a central role in green public procurement, sustainable building certifications, and low-carbon material strategies. Spanish manufacturers—particularly in construction products, industrial materials, and building systems—are frequently required to prepare EPDs in accordance with ISO 14025 and EN 15804.
Developing an EPD in Spain involves comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) modelling, accurate production data collection, strict alignment with Product Category Rules (PCRs), and independent third-party verification. Because of the technical complexity and regulatory expectations, manufacturers typically work with specialist EPD consultants rather than handling the process internally. The firms listed below represent leading EPD consultants 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 and Western Europe.
ERKE’s consulting model is focused on standalone product EPD delivery, rather than embedding EPDs within broader engineering or design scopes. The firm manages the entire 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 program operators.
ERKE’s multidisciplinary team includes LCA analysts, product sustainability specialists, and EPD technical authors. This structure allows consistent methodologies across multiple product families and manufacturing locations. The consultancy has completed dozens of verified EPDs globally for construction and industrial products such as cementitious materials, gypsum systems, insulation products, coatings, tiles, façade elements, and composite building products.
For Spanish manufacturers supplying both domestic and export markets, ERKE’s experience with internationally recognised EPD formats and cross-border verification processes is particularly relevant.

2. Ramboll
Ramboll is active in Spain through its European sustainability and environmental consulting teams. Ramboll has strong expertise in LCA 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, or compliance with EU taxonomy and reporting requirements. The firm’s approach emphasises scientific robustness, alignment with European standards, and integration of EPD results into wider environmental decision-making.
3. WSP Spain
WSP Global operates in Spain providing environmental assessment, LCA, and sustainability advisory services. WSP supports EPD development primarily as part of integrated environmental, ESG, or infrastructure consultancy scopes.
EPD-related work at WSP typically includes environmental impact modelling, validation of product datasets, and interpretation of EPD results for large construction or infrastructure projects. This approach is particularly suited to large manufacturers or organisations managing EPDs alongside multiple regulatory and reporting obligations.
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.
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 high-volume product EPD certification programmes.
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 processes mainly through project-level LCA studies, environmental impact assessments, and material selection strategies, rather than acting as a primary author of product-specific EPD documents.
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.
Summary
This article reviewed leading EPD consultants active in Spain, covering both specialist product-focused consultancies and large multidisciplinary engineering firms. 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 into 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 consultancy depends on product type, export objectives, internal data readiness, project complexity, and available budget.
