The EPA State of the Environment Report 2024 paints a clear picture of the environmental challenges Ireland faces. The report underscores the urgency of addressing climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution through systemic solutions. With sectors like construction, energy, and transport being major contributors to environmental degradation, there is a growing push for stricter regulations and digital solutions to track, manage, and mitigate these impacts. For businesses, this means adapting to new realities of compliance, transparency, and sustainability.

Based on the Green Public Procurement (GPP) Guidance for the Irish Public Sector, Hub360 can assist in several important areas related to green procurement and compliance, particularly in terms of data management, sustainability, and tracking environmental performance:

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.
