Collaboration delivers verified EPDs to support procurement and regulatory reporting
CHICAGO, IL (January 13, 2026) – Sphera®, a leading provider of integrated sustainability and operational risk management software, data and consulting services, has partnered with the Rolls-Royce Power Systems division on mtu generator Environmental Product Declarations (EPD).
Following the ISO 14025 and EN 50693 standards, EPD reports present third-party verified information about a product’s impact on the environment over its entire life cycle, from raw material extraction and manufacturing to use and end-of-life. The EPD report includes a summary of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study results and environmental impact data.
Sphera’s Sustainability Consultants created two EPDs on behalf of Rolls-Royce using Sphera’s LCA For Experts and LCA BOM Import. As a result of the collaboration, Rolls-Royce became one of the first engine original equipment manufacturers (OEM) to publish EPDs on the International EPD® System (Environdec), covering two high-performance mtu generator sets: the mtu 16V 4000 DS2500 and mtu 10V 1600 DS500. These EPDs set a new industry standard for environmental transparency in the power generation sector.
“With these environmental product declarations, we set a new industry standard for environmental transparency in the field of energy systems,” explained Tobias Ostermaier, President Stationary Power Solutions at Rolls-Royce’s Power Systems division. “This is our response to growing demand from our customers, and we are actively supporting them in reducing their carbon footprint.”
Sphera’s Chief Services Officer Mark Stach added: “The published EPDs are testament to the ongoing partnership between Rolls-Royce and Sphera. They exemplify how companies are embedding sustainability into the fabric of their operations – from procurement to leadership.”
