Faces of Sustainability at Siemens Electrification and Automation

Ever wondered what an Environmental Product Declaration Type III (EPD III) really is and why it matters? It’s an independently verified document (ISO 14025) that reveals a product’s full environmental story, from raw materials to end-of-life. It gives customers clear facts on carbon footprint, resource use, recyclability, and more – making sustainability decisions easier and more transparent. In this video interview, Dr. Dirk Pohle and Matthias Happel, Siemens Environmental Protection Experts at SI EA QM&GCC, talk about the publication of our fourth EPD III by EPD Norge. They share why this level of transparency builds trust, how we create EPD IIIs using our Green Digital Twin tool, and which environmental indicators we focus on – from greenhouse gas emissions and resource use to the Clean Air advantages in gas-insulated switchgear. They also look ahead at what’s next for Electrification & Automation: faster Life Cycle Assessments, scaled-up EPD creation, and staying ahead of global regulatory trends.
