George Primikyris from SUSTCHEM focuses on Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), which are public documents that communicate the environmental performance of a product throughout its life cycle.
EPDs are based on ISO 14025 and EN 15804-A2 standards, and their creation involves four stages: LCA study, EPD drafting, external verification, and publication on a platform. The most important stage is the LCA study, which is a methodology that assesses the environmental impacts of a product in all stages of its life cycle.
George is a Chemical Engineer with an intense interest on sustainability and climate change. Holding the role of Sustainability & ESG Coordinator at SustChem Technical Consulting S.A., he is responsible for expanding the company’s sustainability services spectrum, supporting clients meet their sustainability goals and strengthening their ESG performance. Mainly focusing on the environmental/ climate pillar of sustainability, George has been actively involved in projects that are characterized by high demand and necessity such as Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Organizational Carbon Footprint in the context of the National Climate Law, and other sustainability schemes.
