As road planning season kicks off in May, county councils and road maintenance companies must ensure they are prepared—not just with equipment and materials, but with accurate, verifiable data. With CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) and EFRAG (European Financial Reporting Advisory Group) requirements coming into effect this year, made-up stats won't cut it anymore. The industry must shift to real, traceable, and verified data to comply with circular economy directives and sustainability goals.

In today’s rapidly evolving sustainability landscape, companies in the construction sector are under increasing pressure to report on their environmental impact. But how much of that reporting is real—and how much is just greenwashing?

The Greenwashing Trap in Construction

The industry has historically relied on vague data sets, estimates, and generalised assumptions to meet sustainability reporting requirements. But as legislation tightens, the practice of overstating environmental credentials without real, verifiable data is becoming a high-risk strategy.

Are Your Reports Built on Guesswork?

Some of the most common greenwashing tactics in the construction sector include:

• Over-reliance on industry averages rather than project-specific emissions tracking.

• Self-certifying sustainability claims without third-party audits.

• Estimating material recycling rates instead of real-time monitoring.

• Lack of transparency in supply chain sustainability practices.

• Avoiding long-term accountability by highlighting minor eco-friendly changes while ignoring core environmental issues.

On March 1st, 2024, Ireland took a significant step towards a sustainable future with the launch of the National Waste Management Plan for a Circular Economy. This plan, which will guide waste prevention and management from 2024 to 2030, is a comprehensive roadmap for reducing waste, promoting reuse, and increasing recycling rates across key sectors, including construction and demolition (C&D).

The construction industry has reached a turning point. As the demand for faster, more efficient project delivery grows, so does the need for sustainable practices, especially in managing material deliveries and construction and demolition (C&D) waste. For large organisations, embracing cutting-edge technology isn’t just a competitive advantage—it’s the key to long-term success.

In an era of increasing accountability and environmental regulation, the question is no longer whether technology should play a role in construction—it’s how to harness it effectively. Hub360 is leading this transformation by providing real-time solutions tailored to the complexities of modern construction projects.

The construction sector faces mounting pressure to meet sustainability goals, enhance transparency, and comply with regulatory requirements like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Hub360 offers a tailored solution that simplifies sustainability reporting, reduces operational inefficiencies, and positions companies as leaders in ESG performance.

The devastating impacts of the mica and pyrite scandals have demonstrated the need for a reliable, verifiable system to ensure proper documentation of construction materials. Hub360’s app provides an efficient and secure way to record material deliveries and movements, offering transparency and accountability while keeping control firmly in the hands of the app users and relevant stakeholders.

Developers and contractors have a vital role in managing construction and demolition (C&D) waste, and they must adhere to several specific legal obligations to ensure compliance with environmental regulations. Here’s an overview of their key responsibilities:

The Circular Economy and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 2022 places significant responsibilities on local authorities when they manage infrastructure or construction projects. Just like private developers, local authorities are classified as the waste producers for any project they oversee, meaning they bear full legal responsibility for managing waste in compliance with strict environmental regulations.

As the European Union sharpens its focus on sustainable finance, the recent adoption of the European Green Bond (EuGB) standard marks a pivotal step in ensuring that funds raised for green projects are used responsibly and transparently. For public bodies accessing green finance, this development highlights the critical need to report on their sustainability practices and maintain a proper audit trail for scrutiny. Hub360 is a crucial tool in achieving these objectives, ensuring that public sector entities not only comply with new regulations but also set a benchmark for transparency and accountability in green finance.

As the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) tightens its guidelines for sustainability reporting, companies must adapt to these comprehensive standards. Hub360 is a powerful tool that aids organizations in meeting these requirements by efficiently collecting, managing, and reporting relevant data. Here’s a detailed look at the data points from the draft EFRAG list where Hub360 contributes significantly.

In the face of escalating environmental concerns and the urgent need to transition towards sustainable practices, the concept of a circular economy has emerged as a beacon of hope, particularly within the construction industry. Hub360, with its commitment to innovation and sustainability, stands at the forefront of this transformation. The approach taken by the Hub360 platform highlights a fundamental truth: achieving a circular economy in construction depends on a unified commitment to responsible material management and stringent oversight of resources.
