Why is Embodied Carbon Reporting Important?

Short answer

Embodied carbon reporting is important because it highlights emissions from materials and construction helping reduce climate impact and achieve compliance.

Full answer

The building sector produces more than 30 percent of global carbon emissions and embodied carbon makes up a large share of that. Reporting allows developers and builders to:

• Meet regulatory and certification requirements

• Find opportunities to reduce emissions

• Show commitment to sustainability

• Improve long term building value

Why this matters

Clients, investors and councils expect transparency on carbon impacts. Without reporting, projects risk delays and may not meet emerging compliance requirements.
