Health Product & Environmental Product Declarations

Siemon believes in providing our customers with the most comprehensive information about the environmental and health impacts of our products. To that end, we’re publishing Health Product Declarations (HPDs) and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for our products, offering transparency and supporting informed purchasing decisions.

What are HPDs?

A Health Product Declaration (HPD) is a standardized report that discloses the ingredients in a product and their potential health effects. It provides a clear picture of the product’s composition, allowing you to understand what materials are used and assess any potential health concerns. HPDs help you make informed choices about the products you use, especially in sensitive environments. They focus specifically on the health impacts of the materials within a product.

What are EPDs?

An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a verified report that communicates the environmental impact of a product throughout its lifecycle, from raw material extraction to manufacturing, use, and end-of-life. EPDs provide standardized, third-party verified data on a range of environmental indicators, such as carbon footprint, water usage, and ozone depletion. They offer a comprehensive assessment of a product’s environmental performance. EPDs focus specifically on the environmental impacts of a product across its entire lifecycle.

Our Commitment to Product Sustainability:

While HPDs and EPDs are distinct documents, they share a common goal: providing transparency about a product’s environmental and health impacts. By leveraging the data collected for an HPD we can streamline the process of developing LCAs and EPDs. The HPDs and LCAs provide actionable information to our engineers on opportunities to minimize the potential health and environmental impacts of our products and supply chain. Additionally, HPDs and EPDs provide a comprehensive picture of a product’s sustainability profile, allowing for informed decision-making by architects, designers, contractors and owners. These declarations can contribute to credits leading to Green Building Council’s prestigious certification in LEED, TRUE and WELL, and project certification as “LBC Compliant” through the Living Building Challenge.

By publishing HPDs and EPDs, we’re demonstrating our commitment to product transparency and sustainability. We believe that providing this information empowers our customers to make informed decisions that align with their values. We are continuously working to improve the environmental and health performance of our products, and these declarations are a key part of that process. We believe that open communication about our products is essential for building trust and creating a more sustainable future.
