Content:
The General Programme Instructions of the International EPD® System are currently being updated, and any stakeholder is welcome to provide feedback during the open consultation until mid-December.

The meeting aims to raise awareness of the planned changes and to improve the individual comments submitted by each organization during the open consultation.

Target group:
