Spain’s sustainability agenda is increasingly shaped by EU climate legislation, circular economy targets, and the growing use of quantified environmental data in construction and manufacturing. Within this context, Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) have become a standard technical requirement for many product categories, particularly construction materials, industrial components, and building systems. EPDs are widely requested for green public procurement, sustainable building certifications, and export-oriented product portfolios, and are typically prepared in accordance with ISO 14025 and EN 15804.
Developing an EPD in Spain is a structured, data-intensive process. It requires robust Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) modelling, reliable factory data, strict compliance with Product Category Rules (PCRs), and independent third-party verification through recognised EPD programme operators. Due to this technical complexity, manufacturers generally engage specialist EPD consultants. 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 dedicated to product environmental performance, LCA, and EPD certification. Established in 2007, ERKE operates through offices in Istanbul, Dubai, and London and has delivered EPD projects across more than 15 countries, including Southern Europe.
ERKE’s consultancy approach is based on standalone product EPD delivery. The firm manages the complete EPD workflow internally, covering system boundary definition, production data structuring, EN 15804–compliant LCA calculations, PCR interpretation, EPD documentation drafting, and coordination with accredited verification bodies and recognised EPD programme operators.
The ERKE team includes LCA analysts, product sustainability specialists, and EPD technical authors. This structure allows consistent methodology across multiple product families and manufacturing sites. ERKE has completed numerous verified EPDs globally for construction and industrial products such as cement and concrete, gypsum systems, insulation materials, coatings, tiles, façade components, 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.

2. Ramboll
Ramboll operates in Spain through its European sustainability and environmental consulting teams. Ramboll has extensive experience in LCA-based environmental assessment and supports EPD development primarily for construction materials and infrastructure-related products.
In Spain, Ramboll’s EPD activities are often embedded within broader sustainability strategies, carbon reduction programmes, or EU taxonomy alignment efforts. The firm places strong emphasis on methodological robustness and integration of EPD results into wider environmental decision-making processes.
3. WSP Spain
WSP Global provides environmental assessment, LCA, and sustainability advisory services across Spain. WSP supports EPD development mainly as part of integrated environmental, ESG, or infrastructure consultancy scopes.
Typical EPD-related services include environmental impact modelling, validation of product datasets, and interpretation of EPD results for large construction and infrastructure projects. This model is particularly suitable for organisations managing EPDs alongside regulatory compliance and corporate sustainability reporting.
4. Arup
Arup is active in Spain through its sustainability and materials consulting teams. Arup supports EPD development primarily 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 design and engineering strategies 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.
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 multiple 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, rather than preparing full product EPD documentation as a standalone service.
7. Linesight
Linesight is active in Spain as a construction consultancy specialising in cost management and programme advisory. While Linesight does not develop 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 preparation, whereas others primarily apply EPD data at project or infrastructure scale. The most appropriate consultancy depends on product type, export requirements, internal data readiness, project complexity, and available budget.
