EPD
An EPD - Environmental Product Declaration - is a calculation that shows how much a product impacts the environment throughout its entire life cycle. EPDs can be used for certifications such as DGNB, LEED, and BREEAM.
An EPD is a comprehensive, independently verified, and registered 'product passport.' It reports comparable, transparent data about the entire environmental life cycle impact of a product. EPDs comply with ISO 14025 and, with regard to construction products, services, and processes, with EN 15804.
We base our EPDs on a life cycle assessment (LCA), which is a recognized method for quantifying environmental impact. Our EPDs are Cradle to Grave EPDs, meaning we include all phases:
Production, Construction, Use, Disposal, Next production system

DGNB
DGNB covers the most relevant sustainability parameters: environment, economy, and social aspects.
A central part of DGNB is LCA. LCA is a life cycle assessment. It examines everything from material production, the construction phase itself, the use of the building, and its lifespan up until demolition after use and recycling
GROHE has products that support the criteria for DGNB-certified buildings, and thereby we support builders who are working with sustainability initiatives in construction.

KIWA ENERGY
This energy labeling of faucets is recognized by many Nordic property developers and construction companies as a selection criterion. KIWA Energy is based on Swedish test standards (SS 820000, SS 820001).
Water and energy efficiency: The faucets must optimize water and energy consumption, e.g., low water flow at 3 bar.
Material selection and longevity: The materials must be of high quality and have minimal environmental impact, such as recyclable or biodegradable materials. The products must be designed for a long lifespan, reducing the need for replacements and thereby the use of resources.
Below, you can find the current products.

LEED
LEED is an internationally recognized environmental certification system for construction. Independent verification is carried out on how a building is constructed and designed in an environmentally friendly way.
Various aspects are considered, such as categories like location & transport, sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy & atmosphere, indoor environmental quality, innovation, as well as materials & resources. The mentioned point categories focus, among other things, on minimizing the environmental impacts and energy consumption associated with building materials throughout their life cycle, including what happens after their end of life.
Buildings that meet the criteria for LEED certification can achieve different levels, such as LEED Certified, Silver, Gold, or Platinum.
BREEAM
BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) can evaluate and certify the environmental sustainability standard of a building.

Type approvals
The type approval is proof that the product meets all applicable technical requirements, based on European and national legislation and standards. Whether your organization is involved in the production and supply of drinking water or works with plumbing, drainage, sewage systems, or wastewater treatment and discharge, you often need to document that your products comply with various regulations and standards.
