Australia’s mandatory climate reporting requirements are being phased in based on company size, starting with the largest entities and expanding to more businesses over time. If you’re unsure whether your construction business falls within scope, we can help you check.

Scope 1 covers direct greenhouse gas emissions from sources your business owns or controls — for example, fuel burned in company vehicles, plant, and machinery on site, or emissions from on-site fuel combustion. For construction businesses, this often includes diesel used in excavators, generators, and other heavy equipment.

Scope 2 covers indirect emissions from the energy you purchase — mainly electricity used to power offices, site sheds, and equipment. It reflects the emissions generated by the utility that produces your electricity, not your business directly.

Scope 3 covers all other indirect emissions across your value chain — both upstream and downstream of your business. For construction, this typically includes emissions from purchased materials (like concrete and steel), subcontractor activity, transport and logistics, waste from construction sites, and employee commuting. Scope 3 is usually the largest and most complex category to measure, since it depends on data from suppliers and partners.

It depends on your size and reporting tier under the legislation — larger reporting entities are generally required to disclose Scope 3, while requirements for smaller businesses may be more limited initially. Even where it’s not yet mandatory, many construction businesses are being asked for this data by head contractors or clients further up the supply chain, so it’s worth preparing early.

We simplify data collection guiding you through what to gather (fuel use, electricity bills, supplier and material data) and turning it into a compliant report — without needing a background in carbon accounting.

Even if you’re not currently required to report, climate reporting obligations are expanding, and many SMEs are already being asked to provide emissions data by larger clients or head contractors as part of tender or contract requirements. Getting set up early means you won’t be scrambling later.

To begin your first report, we’ll typically need your ABN, ANZSIC code, basic company demographics, any existing environmental or sustainability policies, and details on director interests. We guide you through gathering this step by step.

Onboarding timeframes vary depending on how much data your business already has on hand, but our guided process is designed to get you through your first full report as efficiently as possible — without needing external consultants.

No. our software is built specifically for SME operators without a sustainability background. We translate the legislative requirements into plain, actionable steps.

As climate reporting rules evolve, we provide ongoing regulatory updates so your reporting stays current — you won’t need to monitor legislative changes yourself.

Founding members get priority onboarding, guided support through their first full report, and exclusive discounted pricing — available to the first 25 construction businesses who join.
