Thought leadership on sustainability tech, emissions reporting, and real climate impact.
Scope 3 Category 1, the cradle-to-gate emissions of purchased goods and services such as concrete, steel, and aluminium, accounts for the large majority of a construction company’s carbon footprint and is the most difficult category to report.

For the GCC, this is a food security, desertification, water resilience and supply-chain data story. The opportunity is real, but only if credits are […]
