This team will ultimately be responsible for creating official MEP 2040 reporting frameworks and determining the strategic long-term applications of collected sustainability data, with two representatives serving on the Steering Committee to ensure alignment with broader organizational goals.

Manufacturer/EPD Engagement & Advocacy
This group is focused on engaging manufacturers in the MEP2040 conversation. Manufacturers are a critical partner to MEP2040 because they are providing the very equipment that contributes to the embodied carbon coming from MEP equipment in the built environment. The working group will be responsible for developing a strategy for engaging manufacturers into the MEP2040 conversation, brainstorming on how EPD requirements can get incorporated into specifications, codes and standards, and for engaging with the Carbon Leadership Forum (CLF) and other leaders in the embodied carbon space on current advocacy that is occurring in this space.
