&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;Environmental profiles methodology&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BRE (Building Research Establishment) is an independent, research-based consultancy, testing and training organisation, operating in the built environment and associated industries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The BRE Environmental Profiles Methodology is a method for identifying and assessing the environmental effects of building materials during their life cycle (including extraction, processing, use and maintenance and disposal).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Environmental Profiles allow specifier to assess reliable and comparable environmental information about competing building materials, giving them confidence that there is a &amp;amp;quot;level playing field&amp;amp;quot; for every material type. Manufacturers can also demonstrate how their products perform by creating product specific Certified Environmental Profiles, and can find ways to improve that performance of their products.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Certified Environmental Profiles are based on data from a detailed verification and audit process of the manufacture facility. This can help with:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Product differentiation&lt;br /&gt;
* Understanding supply chain impacts&lt;br /&gt;
* Improved efficiency&lt;br /&gt;
* Understanding of environmental impact&lt;br /&gt;
* Benchmarking performance&lt;br /&gt;
* Identifying hotspots in processes&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Profiles can be presented both as Ecopoints scores and Green Guide ratings. A detailed report is also prepared for the manufacturer, examining the environmental impacts of the product process and supply chain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
