Cobuilder wants to solve sustainability reporting for the construction industry 

Cobuilder launches a new service that helps players in the construction industry meet the new requirements for sustainability reporting (CSRD). The service makes data collection and reporting more efficient, streamlined and data-driven. 

The new rules for sustainability reporting in the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) require large companies to report environmental data in a more comprehensive way already for 2024. For the construction industry in Norway, this will affect the entire value chain, including contractors, subcontractors and manufacturers. It will be crucial to make data collection as digitalized and structured as possible to make reporting simple and accurate.

What does it solve? 

The new sustainability reporting service in Cobuilder Collaborate helps users obtain standardized and quality-assured data, which reduces manual work and improves reporting quality. By centralizing and digitizing processes that are usually time-consuming and complex, it becomes easier for contractors to handle essential information for reporting. The new service collects the necessary documentation and data for the products they use in their projects. 

Benefits for the construction industry 

The service also facilitates compliance with other important regulations, such as the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and chemical risk assessments, ensuring a holistic approach to regulatory requirements. 

“The new CSRD service in Cobuilder Collaborate gives contractors the opportunity to have a data-driven approach to sustainability reporting. This makes it easier to meet requirements while building a solid foundation for long-term transparency and competitiveness in the construction industry,” says Thomas Ingvaldsen, Head of Business Development at Cobuilder. 

A data-driven approach to sustainability reporting 

For many contractors in Norway, CSRD represents an opportunity to lead the way in sustainable construction and transparency in the value chain. With Cobuilder Collaborate’s new sustainability reporting service, stakeholders can easily navigate the complex reporting landscape by using data as a strategic resource for both reporting and as a competitive advantage. 

Cobuilder representatives hosted a webinar on Thursday, December 5th, to introduce our service and demonstrate how we assist the Norwegian construction industry with sustainability reporting requirements. The webinar recording (in Norwegian) is now available to watch on demand.
