Mumbai just hosted a landmark event this week as GreenEx Environmental led India's first-ever Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) Conference, gathering top policymakers, industry leaders, and global experts to fast-track sustainable manufacturing. The September 10 gathering at Taj Lands' End kicked off a crucial national dialogue on how Indian businesses can meet rising global demands for environmental transparency and adopt science-backed product data. This conference arrives at a pivotal moment, with global markets increasingly scrutinizing supply chains and regulatory frameworks like the European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and India's own Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) mandate pushing for deeper environmental disclosures. GreenEx Environmental recent collaboration with Norway's EPD Global, aimed at making EPD certifications more accessible and affordable, underpins India's strategic push to align its manufacturing sector with stringent international sustainability standards and its ambitious Net Zero by 2070 target. Looking ahead, the momentum from this inaugural EPD conference is expected to accelerate the adoption of Environmental Product Declaration across Indian industries. This move is not just about compliance; it's a strategic investment, promising enhanced export readiness, improved brand credibility, and significant steps towards a greener economy as manufacturers leverage verified data to reduce their environmental footprint and secure a competitive edge in global markets. The ongoing dialogue between industry and regulators will be critical in shaping future policies and supporting India's sustainable growth trajectory.
