Umsetzung des LkSG mit IntegrityNext: Zentrale Erkenntnisse für das Reporting
Das vierte Kapitel unserer fünfteiligen Blog-Reihe liefert die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse aus LkSG-Kundenprojekten zu Reporting und Dokumentation.
How IntegrityNext Helps Building & Construction Sustainability
Building and construction companies rank among the largest consumers of energy, water, and raw materials, while also generating significant pollution and waste. The industry is responsible for an estimated 40% of the world’s annual carbon footprint, making it a key contributor to climate change. In response, regulators are tightening their rules on energy performance, emissions, and circularity.
We help you manage the key sustainability risks in your supply chain and unlock opportunities for greater efficiency, impact, and long-term value.
Building & Construction Industry Leaders Trust IntegrityNext
We Understand & Solve Your Industry’s Challenges
Our solutions cover the topics most material to your industry, enabling you to meet legal requirements and boost sustainability performance.
Reducing Embodied Carbon in Building Materials
The building and construction industry relies heavily on high-carbon materials like cement and steel, with cement alone accounting for 8% of global GHG emissions. Decarbonizing supply chains through alternative materials, clinker substitutes, or carbon capture technology is critical to meeting climate goals and aligning with sustainability standards.
Managing Social and Environmental Risks in Resource Extraction
The extraction and processing of raw materials such as minerals, metals, and timber carry risks of habitat destruction, pollution, and community displacement. ESG tech solutions can enable supply chain transparency, helping companies monitor and mitigate these risks while ensuring responsible sourcing practices.
Enhancing Circular Design and Resource Efficiency
Circular design principles can significantly reduce embodied emissions and resource use in construction projects. By embracing recycling, reusability, and alternative materials, companies can ease environmental pressures, meet regulatory requirements, and create more sustainable value chains.
Upholding Health and Safety Standards in Supply Chains
The industry faces persistent health and safety challenges, including hazardous working conditions and toxic material exposure in upstream processes. Ensuring suppliers comply with occupational health and safety standards and international labor rights through ESG monitoring tools is vital for ethical and safe operations.
Driving Sustainable Innovation in Urban Infrastructure
With much of the urban infrastructure for 2050 yet to be built, there is a unique opportunity to redefine construction. Sustainable materials, innovative building methods, and supply chain redesign can reduce emissions, improve efficiency, and position companies as leaders in low-carbon construction.
Solutions Designed to Meet Your Needs
Our platform offers a comprehensive suite of sustainability solutions to meet your industry needs. Combining the world’s largest sustainable supply chain network, AI-powered insights and automation, and built-in ESG expertise covering over 40 topics, we ensure that your sustainability efforts are tailored to your industry - giving you a competitive edge and driving meaningful impact.
Supply Chain Due Diligence
The building and construction industry faces extensive risks related to raw material sourcing, including habitat degradation, deforestation, pollution, and inadequate working conditions. We help you ensure responsible procurement and compliance with regulations like the EU’s CSDDD by identifying risks in sourcing critical materials such as steel, cement, and timber.
Sustainability Reporting
Sustainability reporting is essential for addressing the sector’s significant impacts, from carbon emissions to pollution and occupational health and safety. Our platform provides tools to monitor decarbonization efforts, report on environmental and social practices, and ensure compliance with the EU’s CSRD and other regulatory frameworks.
Carbon Emissions & Decarbonization
Construction projects rely heavily on materials with high carbon intensity, such as cement, steel, and aluminum. We support your industry in managing embedded carbon, reducing Scope 3 and product-level emissions, and ensuring EU’s CBAM compliance while driving sustainability in building materials and infrastructure projects.
Deforestation & Biodiversity
Deforestation risks are prevalent in the sourcing of timber and other natural materials critical to construction. Our solutions ensure traceability and compliance with regulations like the EUDR, enabling sustainable forest management, protecting biodiversity, and reducing risks associated with illegal logging and land use conflicts.
Multi-Tier Supply Chain Visibility
Construction supply chains are complex and require comprehensive transparency to manage risks and enhance resilience. Our multi-tier visibility tools allow you to monitor suppliers, track compliance with sustainability standards, and mitigate ESG risks across the supply chain.
Product & Material Compliance
Compliance with hazardous material regulations, such as the EU’s REACH and the TSCA in the United States, is critical for promoting safety and environmental stewardship. We streamline compliance by enabling the tracking of hazardous substances and supporting adherence to regulatory standards for safer and more sustainable building practices.
