Environmental product declaration (EPD) usage in early building design stages: Review of effects on the environmental life cycle of a multi-residential building

BioResources, 2023
The building sector has seen recent growth in the number of published environmental product declarations (EPDs). EPDs share environmental data of construction materials, which can help building practitioners prioritize products with lower environmental impacts. However, EPDs rely on varying assumptions within their life cycle assessment (LCA).

Life Cycle Analysis as a Sustainable Governance Lever for Environmental Performance: Evidence From French SBF 120 Companies

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study draws on neo‐institutional theory, stakeholder theory, and the resource‐based view to examine the relationship between the use of Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and firms' Environmental Performance (EP). Focusing on French companies listed on the SBF 120 index from 2002 to 2021, it investigates how LCA adoption influences EP across three
