From Estimation to Evidence in Construction Emissions Tracking
Embracing Change:
Change is no longer a buzzword. In the construction industry, it has become a non-negotiable imperative. With the tightening of emissions reporting frameworks under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and increasing investor scrutiny, the pressure is on to move beyond outdated estimations and into the realm of verifiable, auditable carbon tracking. The time to embrace change is now—and Hub360 is leading the charge.
The Problem with the Old Way
Today we see emissions reporting in construction reliyng on generic emissions factor charts, assumed fuel use, and manual data entry. These methods are not only prone to error and manipulation, but they also fail to capture the nuances of real-world conditions like vehicle load, terrain, and driver behaviour. This opens the door to greenwashing, compliance gaps, and missed opportunities for actual emissions reduction.
Regulatory & Market Demands Are Shifting
From 2025, many public and private sector tenders will require Scope 3 emissions data that is real-time, traceable, and verifiable. Investors, too, are demanding more:
Want ESG disclosures assured like financial data.
Will divest from companies that don’t meet their sustainability expectations.
Poor data quality is no longer acceptable.
Embracing Change with Hub360
Hub360 transforms emissions tracking by integrating with truck telematics to deliver real-time CO₂ emissions data. This isn’t about estimates. It’s about precision. Every journey, every load, and every client can be assigned accurate emissions values. This turns sustainability reporting into a tool for action—not just compliance.
With Hub360, you gain:
Precise Attribution: CO₂ tied to specific clients, jobs, and materials.
Live Monitoring: Smarter routing, reduced idling, real-time interventions.
Procurement Advantage: Win tenders with verifiable emissions data.
Risk Elimination: Avoid greenwashing accusations with auditable proof.
Proof in Action: The Monaghan Pilot
In a recent pilot with Monaghan County Council, Hub360 tracked material movement from road planning to quarry. The results?
Real- Time Oversight
Client-level emissions insights
Full breakdown of tonnage, travel time, and trip-level CO₂ data
The impact was so strong, the pilot was extended to three more counties.
Leading the Change
Companies that embrace this transition today are positioning themselves as sustainability leaders for tomorrow. Whether it's meeting CSRD requirements, winning high-value tenders, or maintaining ESG investment eligibility—the case for digital, verifiable emissions tracking is undeniable.
Adaptation Is Leadership
We are standing at a critical crossroads. The construction sector can no longer afford to track emissions with guesswork. Embracing change means adopting real-time, data-driven systems that deliver on sustainability goals and stakeholder expectations. Hub360 is ready. Are you?
