PEP Ecopassport
Managing Director
International Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) program for electrical, electronic, and HVAC-R products — ISO 14025, EN 50693, and PEP-PCR compliant.
PEP Ecopassport Program
International type III environmental declaration program (ISO 14025) dedicated to electrical, electronic, and HVAC-R products. Delivers transparent, third-party verified data on environmental impact across the entire product life cycle, and supports eco-design and compliance for 300k+ equipment references in the construction sector.
// At the center
I lead the association that sits at the hub of a multi-stakeholder network — aligning manufacturers, verifiers, regulators, and buyers around one shared international standard.
// Key Metrics
// Mission
The P.E.P. Association develops internationally the PEP ecopassport program for electrical, electronic, and HVAC-R products. A PEP (Product Environmental Profile) is a type III environmental declaration per ISO 14025, quantifying key indicators such as carbon footprint, resource depletion, and energy use using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology.
Declarations are independently verified, receive an official registration number, and are published in a public database. They are valid for five years and support sustainability communications, certifications, and public procurement processes.
// Anatomy of a PEP
A PEP quantifies a product's environmental impact across its entire life cycle — independently verified, published in an open database, and valid for five years.
// Achievements
- Turnaround: Revived operations and strategy for the 40-country program, restored client and stakeholder trust, and delivered 100% growth. I manage a P&L of 1M+ EUR and report to the board on budgets and business cases.
- AI & automation: Digitized internal processes with AI and automation, cutting processing time by 90% and costs by 20%.
- From thousands to millions of declarations: Gathered global industry leaders around a plan to move from thousands to millions of declarations per year through automation, and quantified the business case for automated verification of hundreds of thousands of declarations.
- Institutional partnership: Signed a 3-year exclusive partnership with the French Ministry, with PEP Ecopassport as data provider for construction regulation.
- Billing and payments: Replaced pay-on-delivery with a prepaid token system (100% of orders settled in advance) and digitized B2B payment and billing workflows, cutting operating costs by 30%.
- Community and ecosystem: Lead a community of 100+ members, certified independent verifiers and volunteers, serving 200+ customers including Schneider, Legrand, Siemens and Mitsubishi, with contractors such as Vinci and Bouygues among users. Work with ESG and procurement leaders at large industrial groups on Scope 3 and eco-design.
// Why PEPs matter now
Type III environmental declarations have moved from a voluntary signal to a structural layer of EU sustainability regulation. PEP sits at that foundation.
Mandatory climate disclosure
Scope 3 product reporting demands verified, product-level carbon data — exactly what a PEP delivers under ISO 14025.
Green Public Procurement
Type III EPDs qualify as technical evidence for green procurement criteria and sustainable-finance classification.
Digital Product Passport
The upcoming DPP for electronics leans on LCA-backed declarations. PEPs are already the foundation the regulation can build on.
ISO 14025 · EN 50693
The technical backbone enabling independent verification, PCRs, and cross-border recognition of product declarations.
// Tech & Product Impact
Leading PEP Ecopassport brings together what I've built over 15 years: data and delivery discipline from telecom, product and AI experience from startups, and sustainability expertise from Welow and Greenly. The work here is to use AI and automation so that a program built for thousands of declarations can handle millions, within a regulated, international framework.
