Kiilto provides environmental services for companies that need reliable data, documentation and expert support to meet environmental requirements.
Whether you’re taking your first steps in environmental work or need a more detailed assessment, we can support you along the way. Our services include carbon footprint calculations, life cycle assessments, Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), environmental claims reviews, and support with sustainability reporting and customer information requests.
When do you need environmental services?
Product carbon footprint calculations
Your customer asks for a product carbon footprint calculation as part of a tender.
Public procurement
You are taking part in a public procurement process where environmental data is one of the evaluation criteria.
Environmental claims
You want to make sure the environmental claims used in your marketing are properly substantiated.
Sustainability reporting
Your customer asks for information for their own sustainability reporting.
Environmental Product Declarations
Your customer or a tender requires an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for your product.
You don’t have to navigate these requirements on your own. We can help you work out what’s needed and where to start.
Environmental data is becoming a business requirement
Environmental data is no longer needed only for annual reporting. It is increasingly part of tenders, procurement and customer requirements. Companies are being asked to provide figures and documentation they may not have needed before.
A free consultation with our expert can help you get started
A short discussion with an expert is a good place to start. We’ll go through your situation together: what information you have been asked to provide, what has already been done and what the environmental requirements mean for your business in practice. After the discussion, we’ll recommend the service that best meets your needs and provide a fixed-price proposal for the agreed work.
- 30-minute consultation by phone or online
