Båstadgruppen takes the next step in sustainability work – launches its first EPD
Båstadgruppen has developed its first EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) in collaboration with the climate platform Carbonfact. The work begins with one of the company's best-selling products – the T-shirt 239 from the Top Swede brand – and marks the start of a more data-driven sustainability work within the range.
"Developing our first EPD is an important step for us. It gives both us and our customers better insight into the climate impact of our products and helps us make more informed decisions going forward," says Mathias Sonninger, CPO and Assortment Manager at Båstadgruppen.
As part of the Båstad Group's ongoing sustainability work, the company has initiated a collaboration with the digital platform Carbonfact to collect and analyze climate data linked to products in the range. First out is the T-shirt 239 – one of Båstadgruppen's most established and sought-after products from the Top Swede brand. Through the work, data has been collected throughout the product's value chain to create an EPD, Environmental Product Declaration.
An EPD is a third-party verified environmental declaration that reports a product's environmental and climate impact throughout its life cycle – from raw materials and production to transport and final stage. For customers, this means increased transparency and access to standardized data that can be used in, for example, sustainability reporting, procurements and comparisons between products. The goal is to gradually build up more transparent and verifiable information about the products' climate footprint and thereby provide customers with a better basis for product selection.
"We see a growing need for clearer and more comparable sustainability data in the market. This is a work we will continue to develop over time and gradually include more products in our range," says Mathias Sonninger.
Båstadgruppen is one of the Nordic region's leading suppliers of personal protective equipment (PPE), work and profile clothing, safety and occupational shoes and gloves, with sales through retailers throughout Europe. As a full-service supplier, Båstadgruppen combines a wide range, high-quality products and strong brands with knowledge, services, efficient logistics and support to meet customer needs.
