In this episode under the Climate Catalysts theme of GET SET GREEN, we explore how environmental data is becoming a critical driver of business decisions, product innovation, and climate action.

Meet Joshua Morshead, Managing Director of EPD Hub, a platform helping manufacturers create and verify Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) faster and at scale. His work focuses on making sustainability data more transparent, credible, and actionable for businesses, architects, and decision-makers.

Through this conversation, we dive into the growing importance of environmental data, the role of EPDs in reducing greenwashing, and how technology is helping businesses measure and communicate product-level impacts with greater accuracy. We also discuss how sustainability is increasingly moving from a reporting exercise to a business imperative driven by procurement, regulations, and market demand.From green buildings and carbon transparency to AI-enabled verification and CBAM readiness, this episode highlights why data may be one of the most powerful tools for accelerating climate action.

Wha we discussed:

1. Why environmental data is becoming a new business bottom line ?

2. Understanding Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs)

3. Tackling greenwashing through third-party verification ?

4. How AI is accelerating sustainability reporting and verification

5. CBAM, carbon pricing, and the evolving business case for sustainability
