Climate Statement

Calculating Carbon Is Not Enough. It Must Be Declared.

In global markets, the environmental performance of products no longer stays in internal reports. A product’s climate impact must be transparently, comparably, and verifiably declared to customers, suppliers, and regulators. A Climate Declaration reveals a product’s contribution to global warming (GWP) throughout its life cycle in CO₂ equivalent, expressing the product’s carbon reality without hiding it. For EcoMetrics, a Climate Declaration is not a label; it is a clear commitment to the market.

What is an EcoMetrics Climate Declaration?

An EcoMetrics Climate Declaration makes visible, through a single clear and powerful indicator, a product’s climate impact across all stages—from raw materials to production, energy use, and logistics.

This declaration:

  • Backs up the product’s carbon claims with evidence,
  • Makes “low-carbon” statements measurable,
  • Enables comparisons across the supply chain,
  • Provides a ready framework for regulatory compliance.

EcoMetrics Approach: Reality, Not Just a Statement

Many Climate Declarations are designed to make a product appear “greener.” EcoMetrics rejects this approach.

For us, a Climate Declaration is:

  • Not marketing language,
  • Not an image exercise,
  • Not a superficial eco-label.

At EcoMetrics, a Climate Declaration is a transparent, defensible, and regulation-ready document showing the product’s carbon reality as it is.

Based on EPD (Environmental Product Declaration)

EcoMetrics follows a strict principle: a reliable Climate Declaration cannot exist without an EPD.

The Climate Declaration is built upon:

  • ISO 14067 (Product Carbon Footprint),
  • ISO 14040 / 14044 (Life Cycle Assessment),
  • A full Environmental Product Declaration (EPD).

EcoMetrics positions the Climate Declaration as a climate-focused, simplified yet scientifically complete output of the EPD. This ensures the declaration is verifiable, defensible, and robust.

What Does the EcoMetrics Climate Declaration Provide?

The declaration clearly presents:

  • Product description and functional unit,
  • Life cycle boundaries,
  • Calculated GWP (Global Warming Potential),
  • Methodology and standards used,
  • EPD and verification references.

But its true value goes beyond presentation.

What Does It Mean for the Product Owner?

With an EcoMetrics Climate Declaration:

  • Products can confidently enter EU and international markets,
  • Carbon-focused customer requirements are addressed,
  • Low-carbon claims are supported by evidence,
  • Competitive positioning is gained within the supply chain,
  • Preparedness for future regulations is ensured,
  • Corporate sustainability reporting is supported with concrete data.

EcoMetrics Climate Declaration Process

  1. Scientific Basis: Complete LCA and EPD studies are conducted for the product.

  2. Climate-Focused Simplification: The climate impact from the EPD is clarified and made understandable.

  3. ISO 14067-Compliant Calculation: GWP is calculated in a verifiable manner.

  4. Market-Oriented Presentation: The declaration is formatted for the market without compromising technical accuracy.

  5. Secure Publication: The Climate Declaration is published with a solid supporting EPD.

The EcoMetrics Difference

At EcoMetrics, a Climate Declaration is:

  • Not created just to have a label,
  • Not part of a document collection,
  • Not written to meet short-term needs.

A Climate Declaration is a statement that communicates the product’s carbon reality transparently, builds market trust, and prepares for the future. EcoMetrics does not polish product carbon; it makes it transparent, verifiable, and credible.
