The Institut Bauen und Umwelt e. V. (IBU) and the DIN Group have signed an agreement to work more closely together. The aim of the collaboration is to make environmental product information even more consistent, comparable and reliable in future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reliable environmental information is becoming increasingly important for businesses. It forms an important basis for public tenders, sustainability requirements in supply chains and new regulatory requirements. At the same time, there is a growing need for uniform and reliable data that can be used equally by all market players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With this agreement, the IBU and the DIN Group are sending a joint signal for greater quality, comparability and interoperability of product-related environmental information. By pooling their respective expertise, the partners aim to provide environmental information in an even more consistent and practical manner in future, reduce duplication of effort for companies and further strengthen compatibility with national, European and international requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
