Strategies for Applying Product Environmental Data
Sponsored by SPLC Impact Partner SE Advisory Services
This engaging webinar will explore how product carbon footprints can drive credible, actionable climate progress across supply chains. It will introduce the PACT methodology as an example framework for product carbon footprints, showcase a real-world supplier example through Schneider Environmental Data Program, and highlight how purchasers like the State of California’s Department of Transportation are using environmental product declarations (EPDs) to inform procurement decisions. Together, these perspectives will illustrate how standardized product-level data can strengthen transparency, support decarbonization strategies, and accelerate Scope 3 emissions reduction. The webinar will conclude with a live Q&A session.

Earlier in his career, he worked at B Lab Switzerland, the organization responsible for delivering the B Corp Certification.
Nina Macard, Environmental Data Deployment Leader, Schneider Electric
Nina Macard leads the deployment of Schneider Electric’s Environmental Data Program, which structures and scales access to product environmental data worldwide. It covers critical information, including carbon footprints, recycled materials, energy efficiency, and end-of-life recycling options. She focuses on the reliability, consistency, and usability of environmental data across internal systems and partner ecosystems to support regulatory compliance, data transparency, and credible environmental communication, enabling informed decision making across the value chain. Nina is an engineer in chemical science with experience in sustainability consulting before joining Schneider Electric.
Dominika Ercolini, Branch Chief, Statewide Materials Support, METS Subdivision, California Department of Transportation
Dominika Ercolini serves as Branch Chief of the Statewide Materials Support Branch within the Materials Engineering and Testing Services (METS) Subdivision at the California Department of Transportation. In this role, she leads statewide efforts to advance sustainable materials practices, including the implementation of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) on transportation projects in alignment with the Buy Clean California Act and the department’s broader climate action goals.
Dominika has played a key leadership role in bridging public and private sectors to drive industry adoption of low-carbon materials. She co-chaired a joint working group of industry and Caltrans representatives to develop and implement EPD requirements for asphalt and concrete into Caltrans Specifications. In addition, she led the development of a first-of-its-kind program funded by the Federal Highway Administration Climate Challenge grant, which provided partial reimbursement to concrete and asphalt producers for developing EPDs—helping accelerate market readiness and reduce barriers to compliance.
Since joining Caltrans in 2016, Dominika has focused on materials engineering, sustainability, and policy implementation. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of California, Davis.
