EnviroHoard® and EnviroFence™ Achieve Independently Verified EPD Certification

We believe that sustainability is more than a commitment – it’s a fundamental part of how we help our customers protect people, property and the environment. That’s why we’re delighted to announce that EnviroHoard® and EnviroFence™, developed by Orbis-owned Panthera Group, are now backed by independently verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). This latest achievement makes our site protection solutions even easier to specify for projects with ambitious sustainability, carbon reduction and ESG goals.

Leading the Way in Sustainable Temporary Hoarding

EnviroHoard® has long set the benchmark for sustainable temporary hoarding solutions. In 2021, it became the UK’s first temporary hoarding system to undergo a comprehensive cradle-to-grave Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in accordance with the European standard EN 15804:2019. This rigorous assessment measures the environmental impact of a product throughout its entire lifecycle – from raw material extraction and manufacturing through to use, reuse and end-of-life disposal.

Today, in 2026, EnviroHoard® remains the only sustainable temporary hoarding system in the UK to have undergone this level of assessment, making it the only Net Zero Verified system of its kind.

This achievement demonstrates our ongoing commitment to delivering solutions that not only provide exceptional site security and safety but also support the environmental goals of our customers.

What is an EPD and Why Does it Matter?

An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is an independently verified document that transparently reports a product’s environmental performance using internationally recognised standards.

Unlike general environmental claims, an EPD provides robust, third-party verified data on factors such as:

  • Carbon emissions and global warming potential
  • Energy and water consumption
  • Resource efficiency
  • Waste generation
  • Environmental impacts across the entire product lifecycle

For contractors, developers and property owners, this transparency is becoming increasingly important as sustainability requirements continue to evolve.

Supporting ESG Goals and Simplifying Specification

With organisations across the construction and property sectors facing growing pressure to reduce carbon emissions and demonstrate environmental responsibility, EPDs provide confidence that products have been independently assessed and verified.

For our customers, the benefits are significant:

  • Simpler tender submissions – independently verified environmental data supports bids and procurement requirements.
  • Improved ESG reporting – reliable sustainability data helps organisations meet their environmental, social and governance commitments.
  • Greater transparency – independently verified information removes uncertainty around environmental claims.
  • Future-ready projects – supports increasing demand for low-carbon and sustainable construction practices.

By providing EPDs for both EnviroHoard® and EnviroFence™, we are helping our customers make informed decisions with confidence while contributing to wider sustainability objectives.

Sustainable Security Without Compromise

Temporary hoarding and fencing play a vital role in protecting construction sites, infrastructure projects and vacant properties. However, sustainability should never come at the expense of performance.

EnviroHoard® and EnviroFence™ are designed to deliver robust site protection while reducing environmental impact, providing customers with solutions that support both operational requirements and long-term sustainability goals.

As the industry continues its journey towards Net Zero, independently verified environmental credentials such as EPDs are becoming increasingly important. By investing in innovation, transparency and sustainable design, Orbis Protect remains committed to helping customers create safer, more sustainable projects for the future.
