The PEP Ecopassport, what is it?

Environmental product declarations are designed to measure the impact that a certain product has on the environment according to the company's activity and purchasing decisions. PEP or (Environmental Product Profile) provides an environmental assessment of the cable, from the choice of raw materials, manufacturing, distribution, use and end of life. This methodology developed by the PEPecopassport® program is:

• A recognized methodology based on ISO 14040 standards that define the principles, framework, requirements and guidelines for best practices in life cycle assessment;
• product category rules in accordance with ISO 14025 and defined jointly with other manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment.

How is it obtained?

The collected data is used to perform the calculation which is then sent to an accredited verifier (such as Bureau Veritas, Icontec, Tüv Italy, among others) for validation. Once validated, the file is ready for publication on the PEP Association website and the Nexans PEP Library.

 

How are PEPs integrated into our E3 model?

The company of tomorrow must shift to a world where the economy, the environment, and employee engagement converge for the common good around a new performance model that combines all three elements in a systematic way. This is the goal of the E3 method that can be applied to many sectors, to many companies, as it is a universal way of thinking.

It's precisely this management model that motivates Nexans to venture into the management of PEP passports, as they are the tangible demonstration of our commitment to the environment and to the Group's goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050.
