The New Reality of Carbon Transparency

Materials like cement and steel are major carbon contributors, they are facing growing scrutiny - from clients, regulators, and lenders alike.

The Carbon Pressure is Real

Tap
The Age of Mandatory Carbon Disclosure

New rules like CBAM and BRSR, along with mandates such as EPD requirements, the EU’s Construction Products Regulation (CPR), and national green procurement norms, are making carbon transparency a baseline expectation across the industry.

Mandates are Reshaping the Industry

When Accuracy Becomes Your Competitive Edge

Accurate estimates and data-backed strategies are now standard. Teams that act early qualify for more tenders and deliver better margins.

A clear Advantage for Early Movers

Solution

Changing the way Construction measures Impact

KarbonWise unites carbon modelling, material impact, and compliance in one platform. It gives teams the clarity and tools to lead sustainability at every step.

1

Construction-Specific Carbon Modelling

Map Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions using datasets tailored for materials, equipment, logistics, and site operations, ensuring every estimate is defensible and audit-ready.

2

Visualise embodied carbon in real time

Break down emissions by material and supplier, and compare scenarios early to keep carbon in check before design begins.

3

Generate Project-Ready Compliance Reports

Generate audit-ready outputs for LEED, BREEAM and client-specific templates to streamline disclosures and simplify multi-framework reporting.

4

Built-in workflows for subcontractors and suppliers

Collect accurate, verifiable emissions data with guided inputs, role-based access, and structured collaboration to close Scope 3 gaps efficiently without chasing suppliers.

HOW IT WORKS

Because Every Build tells a Carbon Story

It helps teams keep pace with changing standards, find the right datasets faster, and generate clear, consistent, audit-ready reports for both new and experienced users.

Reporting that stays in step with Certification standards

Preparing reports for LEED, BREEAM, or EPDs takes time. Constant updates to rules and criteria force consultants to reformat, recalc, and rewrite data for every review cycle.

The Right dataset, Surfaced in seconds

Finding the right dataset is time-consuming. Accuracy depends on matching geography, process, and reporting goals, yet LCA practitioners lose hours searching through records and filters.

Streamlined Collaboration with Suppliers

Collecting supplier data is often unpredictable. Missed fields, inconsistent formats, and repeated follow-ups make Scope 3 reporting harder to verify and slower to complete.

Easy enough to Try. Powerful enough to Stay

Most tools demand heavy onboarding. New users struggle with complex setups, while experts spend a lot of time on basic actions that should be intuitive and effortless.
