Think Construction Isn’t Part of Your Business? Think Again—Scope 3 Reporting Says Otherwise

 If you’re a finance manager, you may have never thought construction emissions would be your problem. But with new mandatory Scope 3 reporting requirements, even companies with only occasional construction activities—like branch refurbishments or warehouse expansions—now need to account for the carbon impact of these projects.

Why Is This So Hard?

Traditionally, carbon accounting for construction projects has been complex and time-consuming. It requires:

  • Gathering detailed data on every material, supplier, and project phase

  • Understanding technical emissions factors and carbon inventories

  • Often, hiring consultants or accounting practices to develop custom methods—at significant cost

This process is not just slow and expensive; it’s also risky. You might worry about:

  • Spending weeks searching for a calculation method that regulators will accept

  • Paying large fees to external advisors

  • Getting the method wrong and having to justify your approach in future audits

  • Using a method that’s out of step with peers, raising questions about why your results look different
