Oman Cables Industry Achieves EPD Sustainability Mark

In an effort to lead the way in sustainability within the region, Oman Cables Industry (OCI) has achieved Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for its principal cable products.

This milestone not only highlights OCI's commitment to environmental responsibility but also provides its customers with a distinct advantage by ensuring their projects align with high standards of sustainability.

This development comes at a time when industries related to construction, utilities, and infrastructure are increasingly held to account for their environmental impact, urging them to adopt practices that are both innovative and sustainable.

The certifications, which were rigorously assessed and issued by EPD Norge, underscore the environmental implications of a product throughout its entire life cycle, from procurement of raw materials to its eventual disposal.

This level of transparency and scientific backing is crucial for stakeholders aiming to engage in responsible construction and innovation.

Moreover, these EPDs serve as pivotal tools for companies aiming to comply with green building certifications like LEED and Estidama, as well as to meet the criteria for ESG-centered investment and reporting.

Erkan Aydogdu, CEO of Oman Cables Industry, emphasized the company's foundational commitment to sustainability, stating, "At OCI, sustainability is not a campaign, it's a core business principle."

He highlighted that the procurement of the EPD certification is reflective of OCI's dedication to transparency, responsible growth, and the creation of long-term value for stakeholders.

Aydogdu also pointed out that this is just an initial step towards further certifications, showcasing the company's ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship.

OCI's achievement in securing EPD certifications not only enhances its standing in green tenders both locally and internationally but also aligns with Oman's Vision 2040 for industrial transformation.

The move sets a new standard for the region, offering products that meet stringent environmental standards and support credible climate action. "We're not just manufacturing cables, we're enabling the next generation of infrastructure with purpose, performance, and accountability," Aydogdu affirmed, highlighting the company's role in fostering sustainable development.

Oman Cables Industry’s acquisition of EPDs for its cable ranges marks a significant step forward in its sustainability journey. By equipping customers with environmentally certified products, OCI not only reinforces its position as a leader in sustainable manufacturing but also contributes to the broader goal of reducing the construction sector's carbon footprint.
