ESG PRO’s LCA and EPD services, at a glance

Who ESG PRO is for

ESG PRO Ltd positions itself as a UK‑based sustainability consultancy that helps manufacturers and suppliers complete LCAs and publish third‑party verified EPDs. Their site describes end‑to‑end support aligned to EN 15804 and ISO 14040/44, plus broader corporate carbon services for teams that also need SECR, PPN 06, or PAS 2060 and ISO 14068 guidance. See their service pages for details: EPD and LCA consulting and Embodied carbon and LCA, and their wider ESG and carbon services.

Core LCA and EPD scope

Based on their materials, ESG PRO offers lifecycle modelling, data collection support, EPD authoring, and coordination of third‑party verification. They flag selection of the program operator, choice of PCR, and verification as explicit steps, which matches how credible EPDs are built under ISO 14025. Most construction EPDs carry a five‑year validity period and must be kept current during that window, a rule program operators reiterate for owners of published EPDs (EPD International, 2025) (EPD International, 2025).

What the working experience feels like

Expect a consultant‑led process. Typical steps include a scoping workshop, data‑request templates, plant questionnaires, and spreadsheet uploads for a defined reference year. Teams should plan subject‑matter interviews for bill of materials, utilities, packaging, and transport. Verification adds another review loop. This cadence can be very thorough, yet it often asks more of your engineers and ops staff than modern low‑friction data‑intake models that many buyers now expect.

Where they say they can work, and for whom

ESG PRO says it manages projects remotely through secure digital collaboration and lists recent work in rail and construction machinery, with clients in the United Kingdom and the United States. That suggests an industry tilt toward heavy equipment and construction supply chains, with international publication as needed. Source claims appear across their EPD and LCA consulting content.

Tools and software stance

Their pages invite clients to choose consultancy‑led, software‑only, or a combined approach. They also market an ESG software platform for corporate reporting. The LCA stack itself is not named publicly, so if tool transparency matters to your QA workflow, ask which databases and characterization factors are used, and how EN 15804+A2 and EF 3.1 are handled inside the model.

Timelines and effort

ESG PRO advertises an “average 6 week turnaround” for EPD work, which is their own marketing claim and likely depends heavily on data readiness and verifier scheduling (ESG Pro, 2024). For context, program operators confirm EPDs are valid for five years and require at least annual internal checks to stay accurate during that validity window (EPD International, 2025) (EPD International, 2025).

PCR guidance and program‑operator navigation

Their process overview includes choosing a program operator and selecting the right PCR. That is sensible. The International EPD System’s construction PCR 2019:14 version 1.3.4 sunset on 20 June 2025 and work now follows version 2.0.x, so confirm your project uses the current rules if you are publishing with IES (EPD International, 2025). The volume of EPDs globally keeps rising, with IES reporting more than 18,000 published by mid‑2025, a reminder to align to the norms specifiers already recognise (EPD International, 2025).

Data collection, verification, and publication

ESG PRO describes managing modelling and documentation, then coordinating third‑party verification before publication. Manufacturers should budget time for clarifications during verification, plus metadata collation for the operator portal. A PCR is the rulebook of Monopoly, so agreeing scope and scenarios early avoids rework when a verifier asks for corrections.

Carbon footprinting and related services

Beyond product LCAs and EPDs, ESG PRO publishes guidance on carbon neutrality pathways and ISO 14068, which may be relevant if a product EPD is only one thread in a broader climate plan. See their explainer on ISO 14068.

How they position among peers

In the UK market, buyers may also evaluate Ricardo for LCA and EPD preparation and verification support, including IES verifier credentials (Ricardo, 2025), Anthesis for EPD development alongside wider product claims work (Anthesis, 2025), and specialist boutiques like EPD UK for EN 15804‑focused deliverables (EPD UK, 2025). Size, sector experience, and verifier access tend to be the practical differentiators.

Buyer checklist before you commit

Ask ESG PRO for a written scope that names the target program operator, the exact PCR version, the reference data year, and the verification body. Confirm who builds the life‑cycle model, who owns the model files, and what is included in post‑publication support for annual checks and renewals. If you need quick multi‑plant data intake, test that experience in a short pilot. If you need low‑touch stakeholder management, clarify who chases suppliers for missing inputs, otherwise internal effort can balloon quickly. Also verify whether an LCA‑only outcome would be acceptable for your buyers, since EPDs remain the safer route where third‑party verified disclosure is expected.

The takeaway

ESG PRO offers a conventional consultancy route to LCAs and EPDs with options to combine software and services, plus adjacent carbon work. Manufacturers should expect workshops, questionnaires, spreadsheets, and several review cycles, which can be the right fit when depth and bespoke modelling matter. Just make sure the PCR version, verifier plan, and support for the five‑year validity arc are nailed down upfront so nothing slips near a bid deadline. That is the boring bit, yet it saves real money later, definately.
