Our actions and the progress that we make are unambiguously visible in our reporting.

Our actions, and how we safeguard our way of working related to sustainability are captured in reports and policies. The following downloads are available.

 

Walraven’s Commitment to Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs)

We recognise that having EPDs is crucial to our organisation. Those declarations allow us to communicate our products’ environmental impact transparently and empower our clients and partners to make informed choices.

We started our EPD journey with the cornerstone of our product portfolio: Walraven Rail Systems. Our team collaborated with experts to perform rigorous LCAs (Life Cycle Assessments) to gain insight into areas for improvement. We choose to have our calculations reviewed, verified and published by a third party, MRPI, ensuring accuracy and compliance.

We are now extending our EPD program to cover more of our product portfolios. We prioritise our efforts based on where we can make the most impact.
