Yale is pleased to announce the successful release of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for five of its leading domestic window hardware products, Vertex Decorative Furniture, Defender Hinge range, the Expede Window Bracket, Quartus Espag handle, and the Revolution Window Hinge.

Five curved handle locks in white, black, silver, gold, and grey colours, with two keys on a white background. Modern and sleek design.

Developed and independently verified, the EPDs provide comprehensive, third-party environmental data, representing a significant step forward in Yale’s ongoing sustainability journey. They expand upon Yale’s existing portfolio of EPDs for commercial window hardware, further underscoring the company’s commitment to transparency, responsible manufacturing, and sustainable innovation. Each EPD delivers in-depth insights into key environmental impacts, including energy consumption, carbon footprint, emissions, resource use, and waste generation.

This transparency empowers architects, specifiers, and procurement professionals to make more informed, sustainability-driven decisions. Increasing trust and comparability across markets to encourage informed decision-making, they testify that the products are compliant with ISO 14025 and EN 15804 for construction products, ideal for green building projects and sustainable development goals.

Fully compliant with ISO 14025 and EN 15804 standards for construction products, these declarations support green building initiatives and align seamlessly with sustainability frameworks such as LEED and BREEAM. By offering verifiable environmental data, Yale enables its customers to earn certification credits and meet the growing environmental expectations of the construction industry.

Grant Stratford, Yale’s Senior Fenestration Technical Director – ASSA ABLOY, Residential, comments: “With EPDs already in place for our commercial products, these new EPDs position Yale as a frontrunner in responsible manufacturing and transparent product reporting across the UK window hardware market. “We’ll continue to roll out EPDs for all new product launches, helping customers meet modern sustainability expectations with confidence.” Find out more about Yale DWS here: https://www.yaledws.co.uk/uk/en
