Ellis, a designer and manufacturer of electrical cable cleats, has published a new Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for its polymer cable cleat range and released its latest carbon footprint report, which shows a 57% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions since its 2017/18 baseline year.
The new EPD provides independently verified lifecycle environmental data for the company’s polymer cable cleats, enabling consultants, contractors, EPCs, and end users to assess the environmental impact of products during specification.
It follows the publication of Ellis’s stainless steel cable cleat EPD, meaning the company now offers verified environmental data across both of its main cable cleat ranges.
The EPD has been produced in accordance with EN 15804+A2, ISO 14025, and ISO 21930, and assesses environmental impacts throughout the product lifecycle, from raw material extraction and manufacturing to end-of-life disposal and recycling.
Sustainability progress backed by verified data
Alongside the EPD, Ellis has released its latest Carbon Footprint Report, outlining progress against its sustainability objectives.
The report shows the company has reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions by approximately 57% over the past eight years through investment in renewable energy, electrification, and operational improvements.
According to Ellis, solar power now supplies more than half of its operational energy requirements.
Danny Macfarlane, Managing Director of Ellis, says, “Sustainability is increasingly influencing decisions across the industries we serve, from data centres and renewable energy projects to power generation and critical infrastructure.
“Providing independently verified environmental data through EPDs gives customers the transparency they need to assess the environmental impact of their projects, while our latest carbon footprint report demonstrates that we are committed to reducing the environmental impact of our own operations as well.
“We believe environmental claims should be supported by robust evidence and measurable outcomes. These latest developments reinforce our commitment to transparency, continuous improvement, and supporting customers on their own sustainability journeys.”
EPDs provide independently verified information on the environmental performance of products and are increasingly used to support sustainability assessments, embodied carbon calculations, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting.
Ellis notes that the new Polymer Cable Cleat EPD and Carbon Footprint Report are available from its website.
