The word sustainability refers to meeting today’s needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. It’s about balancing three key dimensions:

• Economic: Profitability and value creation
• Environmental: Resource use, greenhouse gas emissions, and pollution
• Social: Health, safety, and human rights

In the construction industry, sustainability means choosing materials, methods, and documentation that minimize negative impacts on the climate and society — while building for long lifespan, reuse, and circularity.

For construction projects, sustainability involves several practical actions:

• Reducing CO₂ emissions
• Ensuring documented origin and properties of construction materials
• Using EPDs (Environmental Product Declarations)
• Optimizing energy and resource use
• Implementing waste management and circular economy principles
• Meeting sustainability requirements in public procurement

But sustainability cannot just be an ambition — it must be documented, traceable, and reportable.

Cobuilder helps manufacturers, contractors, and clients collect, structure, and use environmental and sustainability data. With our solutions, you can:

• Gather EPDs and environmental characteristics for products
• Connect data to Digital Product Passports (DPP) and ESG reporting
• Set sustainability requirements early in the project phase
• Ensure compliance and verification throughout the entire project
• Deliver structured as-built documentation (FM/FDV) at handover

• Compliance: Meet the requirements of BREEAM, Nordic Swan Ecolabel, DPP, and public building regulations
• Efficiency: Eliminate manual tracking and scattered PDFs
• Transparency: Compare and document environmental performance of products
• Alignment: Support your ESG goals and carbon accounting
