The company
Parq delivers the world's fastest, highest-quality Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), disrupting the complex and broken environmental reporting ecosystem. Parq empowers manufacturers to benchmark their products, reduce their environmental impact, become more competitive in the marketplace, and pave the way for a sustainable future.
Our founder started Parq after experiencing the EPD process firsthand. He was deeply frustrated by its lengthy duration, the excessive fees charged by large consulting firms, and the numerous stakeholders required to complete it. Witnessing how manufacturers were being exploited, he became determined to revolutionize the entire process.
The opportunity is massive: in 2024, over $400 billion in construction projects required suppliers to submit environmental product declarations. Founded in 2023, Parq is already gaining significant traction with six recurring customers, including three household names, and multiple pilots and early-stage engagements.
We blend in-person collaboration at our Austin, TX office with the flexibility of remote work 3–5 days a week. This approach fosters a culture of perseverance, freedom, gratitude, and integrity—where bold actions and meaningful contributions fuel our success.
