In his speech, Mr. Ge Dongbo, Chief Engineer of the Shanghai Municipal Economic and Information Commission, pointed out that EPD (Environmental Product Declaration), as an internationally recognized environmental management tool, helps enterprises reduce carbon emissions and enhance product environmental friendliness. It is an important element in promoting green and low-carbon development, a key component of achieving new industrialization, and a vital lever for aligning with international standards and participating in global cooperation. Shanghai, with its mission to build the "Five Centers," plays a crucial role in driving innovative efforts such as the EPD international mutual recognition work. The EPD International Mutual Recognition Signing marks an important step in Shanghai's international collaboration on EPD, laying the foundation for the smooth international expansion of Chinese enterprise products.

EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) is an internationally recognized environmental management tool that helps companies reduce carbon emissions and improve product environmental friendliness. It plays a crucial role in promoting green and low-carbon development, is an essential aspect of achieving new industrialization, and serves as an important mechanism for aligning with international standards and participating in global cooperation. Shanghai, with its significant mission to build the "Five Centers," places great importance on innovative initiatives such as the EPD international mutual recognition process. The EPD International Mutual Recognition Signing marks a significant step forward in Shanghai's international cooperation on EPD, laying the foundation for the smooth international expansion of Chinese enterprise products.

At the event, the Shanghai Green Wing Product Environmental Declaration Promotion Center was officially inaugurated, and a mutual recognition agreement was signed with EPD Italy. It became the first domestic organization to achieve mutual recognition with an international EPD organization and is currently the only EPD operating organization in China recognized by Eco Platform (the International EPD Association). This initiative helps domestic enterprises shorten the mutual recognition process with international organizations and obtain the "passport" to enter specific markets.
