in fulfilling CBAM and EPD requirements
Qalex, a subsidiary of Qatar Industrial Manufacturing Company, with a strong presence in the European Union (EU), needed to maintain its leadership in the region and secure additional high-value contracts. However, two significant hurdles slowed progress:
1. CBAM Compliance: Manual data gathering for the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) requirements risking the loss of market share in the EU to competitors.
2. Verifiable EPDs: Key customers required third-party–certified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) to qualify for $24M+ contracts, but generating them manually was resource-intensive and prone to delays.
These combined challenges threatened both Qalex’s market standing and its ability to close lucrative deals under tight timelines.
By deploying Sluicebox’s Generative LCA platform, Qalex rapidly automated its sustainability reporting workflow—combining CBAM documentation and verifiable EPD creation in one seamless process. With real-time “what-if” carbon modelling, Qalex could also chart clear paths to further emissions reductions, lowering tax exposure and bolstering its competitive position in sustainability-driven contract bids to increase revenue.
Rapid EU Market Access: Fulfilled CBAM requirements and entered critical EU opportunities 75% faster, eliminating compliance bottlenecks that could stall growth.
Accelerated Primary Data Capture: Automated data collection cut manual labor and error risks—speeding up EPD creation for high-stakes customer contracts.
Secured Multimillion-Dollar Deals: Third-party–verifiable EPDs allowed Qalex to meet rigorous environmental criteria demanded by top-tier clients, resulting in securing a $24M contract.
Proactive Carbon Reduction: Real-time scenario modeling helped Qalex plan emissions reductions, lowering CBAM tax exposure and bolstering competitive advantage.
