That is why we have carried out a life cycle assessment (LCA) for our stainless steel accessoires.

EPD stands for Environmental Product Declaration and is a Type III environmental label. It contains environmental information in a standardised format, but does not include an assessment and is not a certificate. However, the use of products with EPDs is relevant for many building sustainability certifications. LEED certification, for example, requires the use of a certain number of products with EPDs or reviewed LCAs.<\/p>\n<p>LCAs are mentioned less frequently in this context, yet every EPD also incorporates an LCA. LCA stands for Life Cycle Assessment and represents an environmental assessment of a product across its entire life cycle. The step from an LCA to an EPD then involves the creation of a standardised structure (PCR \u2013 Product Category Rules) for an entire sector and verification by an independent body.<\/p>\n<p>As there is not yet a standard in the form of a PCR for our sector, but we nevertheless wanted to assess the impact of our products, we have decided to carry out an LCA for our products in order to present their environmental performance across their entire life cycle.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section\" id=\"d658\"><button class=\"w-tabs-section-header\" aria-controls=\"content-d658\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><h3 class=\"w-tabs-section-title\">What are the SDGs?<\/h3><div class=\"w-tabs-section-control\"><\/div><\/button><div  class=\"w-tabs-section-content\" id=\"content-d658\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content-h i-cf\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>The abbreviation SDGs stands for Sustainable Development Goals. These are 17 global goals set by the United Nations (UN), which were adopted in 2015 as the centrepiece of the 2030 Agenda to ensure socially, environmentally and economically sustainable development worldwide by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>These 17 SDGs are broken down into a further 169 sub-goals (targets) and embody a new, interconnected understanding of poverty, environmental degradation, inequality, patterns of production and consumption, and corruption, to name but a few examples. It has been recognised that various problems must be tackled everywhere and simultaneously. The universality of the Agenda means that all the goals apply to all countries. Responsibility for implementing the goals therefore lies at both the national and international levels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><a title=\"https:\/\/sdgs.un.org\/goals\" href=\"https:\/\/sdgs.un.org\/goals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"0\"><span>https:\/\/sdgs.un.org\/goals<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-33188\" src=\"https:\/\/www.proox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/SDGs_Grafiken-1-274x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"549\" height=\"601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.proox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/SDGs_Grafiken-1-274x300.png 274w, https:\/\/www.proox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/SDGs_Grafiken-1-934x1024.png 934w, https:\/\/www.proox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/SDGs_Grafiken-1-1401x1536.png 1401w, https:\/\/www.proox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/SDGs_Grafiken-1-600x658.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 549px) 100vw, 549px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section\" id=\"n89a\"><button class=\"w-tabs-section-header\" aria-controls=\"content-n89a\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><h3 class=\"w-tabs-section-title\">How many of the SDGs\u2019 measures\/actions are being implemented by PROOX?<\/h3><div class=\"w-tabs-section-control\"><\/div><\/button><div  class=\"w-tabs-section-content\" id=\"content-n89a\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content-h i-cf\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>We take comprehensive environmental and social responsibility across all areas of our business.

It quickly became clear to us that we didn\u2019t want to use superficial marketing clich\u00e9s. We wanted to engage seriously with the issue and adopt a scientific approach. That is why, with the help of external partners and their established methods, we calculated and analysed our company\u2019s carbon footprint and the environmental impact of our products in the form of a life cycle assessment (LCA).

Greenhouse gases differ in terms of how much they contribute to warming the Earth\u2019s atmosphere and how long they remain there. To present their climate impact in a comparable way, all gases are converted into so-called CO\u2082 equivalents (CO\u2082e). The basis for this conversion is the global warming potential (GWP), which indicates how potent a gas is compared to CO\u2082 over a period of usually 100 years. Our figures are therefore given in tonnes of CO\u2082e.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section\" id=\"z74a\"><button class=\"w-tabs-section-header\" aria-controls=\"content-z74a\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><h3 class=\"w-tabs-section-title\">What is the Greenhouse Gas Protocol?<\/h3><div class=\"w-tabs-section-control\"><\/div><\/button><div  class=\"w-tabs-section-content\" id=\"content-z74a\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content-h i-cf\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>The Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) is the world\u2019s most widely used and recognised standard for calculating and managing greenhouse gas emissions.
