Topy Industries, Ltd. (Head office: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Hiromi Ishii; hereinafter referred to as "Topy Industries") has acquired "SuMPO EPD"*1 (formerly EcoLeaf) certification for one flat steel product, based on the SuMPO Environmental Label Program of the Sustainable Management Promotion Organization (SuMPO). This brings the number of Topy Industries' SuMPO EPD certified products to seven*2.
SuMPO EPD is one of the certification systems for environmental product declarations (EPD) that quantitatively discloses environmental information for the entire life cycle of a product, from resource extraction to manufacturing, distribution, use, disposal, and recycling, using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology. This certification allows customers to objectively evaluate the environmental impact of products and use it as a basis for making decisions when purchasing environmentally friendly products.
