Construction accounts for roughly 37% of global CO₂ emissions when you include building operations. The European Green Deal, CSRD, and national-level building regulations are converging to make sustainability reporting mandatory. Public procurement directives increasingly require carbon footprint data in tenders. And the EU Taxonomy classifies construction activities under strict environmental criteria. For construction firms, this means ESG data is no longer optional — it's a business requirement for winning contracts.

Construction projects involve hundreds of suppliers — cement producers, steel mills, insulation manufacturers, subcontractors. Each contributes to your Scope 3 footprint. Dcycle's supplier portal sends structured data requests with pre-built templates tailored to construction materials. Suppliers fill in quantities and specifications, Dcycle applies the correct emission factors automatically. You get real-time visibility into which suppliers have responded, where the data gaps are, and what your supply chain emissions look like — without a single spreadsheet.

Yes. Dcycle lets you create separate projects for each construction site or building. You can track energy consumption, fuel usage, material quantities, waste volumes and water usage per project. The platform calculates emissions using activity-based and spend-based methodologies, then rolls everything up into your corporate carbon footprint. This means you can report emissions per building for client tenders while also meeting corporate-level CSRD requirements — from the same data.

While Dcycle is not a BREEAM or LEED certification tool, the environmental data it collects — energy performance, material sourcing, waste management, water consumption — directly supports the evidence requirements for these certifications. Companies using Dcycle can export the relevant KPIs and documentation needed for sustainability credits in building certification schemes.

Large construction firms come to Dcycle because they need to consolidate environmental data across multiple projects, geographies and business units. They use the platform to calculate corporate and project-level carbon footprints, manage supply chain data from subcontractors, meet CSRD and EINF reporting requirements, and generate documentation for public tenders. The result is a single source of truth that serves compliance teams, project managers and bid writers simultaneously.
