Climate-Native Summit 2026
Turning environmental data into business value
Meet leading manufacturers to discuss the future of LCAs
Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) already play a vital role across core manufacturer processes, from marketing and sales to product development. In the coming years, their importance will only increase, as the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) requires LCAs for every product through Digital Product Passports (DPPs).
What you’ll explore at the summit: the 4 pillars shaping 2026
- LCAs & EPDs as business value: Win customers, support tenders, and drive transparency.
- Scaling LCAs with Confidence: Scale LCAs through automation while balancing efficiency and data quality.
- Designing the next generation of products: Use LCA data to drive eco-design and low-impact innovation.
- Next-Gen LCAs: Learn how regulations and DPPs are shaping the future of the industry and the role LCAs play in it.
