GreenEx Environmental hosted India's first EPD Conference 2026 at Taj Lands' End in Mumbai, bringing together regulators, international EPD programme operators, and manufacturers. The event centered on Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) as tools for measuring and verifying environmental impact. Attendees included Maharashtra Pollution Control Board officials, EPD-Norge leadership, and representatives from Indian and multinational manufacturing companies. The conference covered the full EPD process, from LCA modeling and data collection to verification and publication through global programme operators. Panel discussions focused on EPD verification, technology-enabled declarations, and how Indian businesses can choose credible programmes that align with international expectations. Case studies showed manufacturers moving from broad sustainability commitments toward verified, measurable environmental data. For anyone tracking carbon markets or industrial decarbonization in India, the event signals a push toward standardized environmental disclosure. EPDs give buyers and regulators a common basis for comparing products, which could matter as global supply chains tighten their carbon reporting requirements. The conference did not announce new policy mandates, but it brought the key players needed to build an Indian EPD ecosystem into one room.
