EPDs were center stage today in Denver with this Climate Accord announcement and the EPA making grant awards announcements for NRMCA and others to work on EPDs, data, and lowering emissions.

The iMasons Climate Accord Governing Body, of which I am proud to serve as a member representing Google, is excited to release an open letter calling for #digitalinfrastructure suppliers to adopt and publish Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) that will bring transparency to Scope 3 emissions of data centers. We hope that our partners in the data center supply chain will recognize the value of committing to open standards to support industry-wide increased transparency of construction procurement. It is inspiring to see how the industry can work together to solve collective challenges. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing work being spearheaded by my partners on the Governing Body from Amazon Web Services (AWS) Digital Realty, Meta , Microsoft and Schneider Electric. Thanks to my fellow Governing Body collaborators on this ongoing journey, namely, Miranda G. Gardiner, LEED Fellow, Dean Nelson, Mislav Crnogorac, Charlie Sellars, Anna Timme, Douglas Mouton, Julie Lieb.
