Sustainability is increasingly becoming a key parameter in the design and construction of public and private buildings. Today, it is not enough to simply declare a material’s environmental commitment; it must be demonstrated with objective and verifiable data.

For this reason, Corradini Group has obtained EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) certification for its natural stone slabs, providing the market with a concrete tool to support designers, companies, and general contractors in carrying out sustainability-oriented projects.

What is EPD certification?

An EPD is an environmental product declaration verified by an independent organization. It is based on the results of LCA (Life Cycle Assessment), an analysis that measures a product’s environmental impact throughout its entire life cycle, from raw material extraction to delivery.

Thanks to this approach, it is possible to obtain transparent, comparable, and internationally recognized information that is useful for objectively evaluating a material’s environmental performance.

A Tangible Advantage for Designers and Builders

Having access to EPD-certified materials makes it easier to tackle numerous design contexts in which sustainability plays a central role.

Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) provide important support for:

  • projects aiming for LEED, BREEAM, or DGNB certifications;
  • participation in public and private tenders;
  • the application of CAM (Minimum Environmental Criteria) in public works;

sustainable procurement policies and ESG strategies.

For designers and contractors, this translates into access to reliable technical documentation that is ready to be incorporated into project specifications.

CAM, LEED, and BREEAM: Why EPDs Are Increasingly Important

In the Italian market, CAMs serve as a fundamental benchmark for public procurement and place particular value on materials accompanied by recognized environmental certifications.

Even in international protocols such as LEED and BREEAM, the EPD contributes to achieving the points needed for building certification and, at the highest levels, can become a decisive factor in meeting a project’s sustainability goals.

For this reason, the demand for materials with EPDs is constantly growing, in both the public and private sectors.

Measurable Sustainability, Not Just Claims

Sustainability cannot be based only on intentions or statements of principle. It must be supported by measurable data, independent verification, and transparent processes.

Obtaining EPD certification represents another step forward in the Corradini Group’s journey of continuous improvement and confirms its commitment to combining product quality, innovation, and environmental responsibility.
