Costain has tested a carbon tracker platform designed to standardise and enhance carbon emissions reporting across its construction projects.
The platform, which features an interactive online dashboard, allows project teams to capture construction-related emissions, including scope 3 emissions, from their supply chain.聽聽
The tracker has undergone initial testing on several of Costain’s road, water, and integrated transport projects and is set for deployment across all relevant projects in the upcoming months.聽
The data shared by suppliers through the carbon tracker is expected to inform future project planning to reduce scope 3 emissions.聽
This initiative aligns with Costain’s decarbonisation strategy.
The carbon tracker is set to improve the quality, accuracy, and frequency of emissions data reporting through advanced analytics and integration with technical baselines.
