IBU com­mits itself to the inter­na­tion­al pro­mo­tion of sus­tain­able con­struc­tion and the use of EPDs. 

Since many mem­ber com­pa­nies and asso­ci­a­tions oper­ate on dif­fer­ent mar­kets world­wide, IBU is work­ing for cross-bor­der recog­ni­tion of EPDs:

  • IBU InternationalThere are exist­ing coop­er­a­tion agree­ments with dif­fer­ent EPD pro­grams from Europe and North Amer­i­ca regard­ing mutu­al recog­ni­tion of Envi­ron­men­tal Prod­uct Declarations.
  • As a found­ing mem­ber of the “ECO Plat­form”, an asso­ci­a­tion of Euro­pean pro­gram hold­ers, IBU pro­motes inter­na­tion­al networking.

The declared goal: The declared con­struc­tion prod­ucts are recog­nised with­out hur­dles on Euro­pean and inter­na­tion­al markets.
