With the built environment responsible for nearly 40% of global emissions, the construction sector is under mounting pressure to reduce its environmental footprint. Yet as regulatory frameworks tighten, it’s Scope 3 emissions, those linked to supply chain activities that present the most complex challenge.

For UK construction firms, accounting for supply chain emissions is no longer optional. From the UK’s SECR framework to the EU’s CSRD rollout, regulatory requirements are clear: companies must demonstrate how they measure and reduce emissions across their full value chain.

The challenge? Most subcontractors and suppliers aren’t equipped to deliver consistent, verified data. That’s why procurement teams are stepping forward, not just as cost managers, but as carbon leaders.

Introducing Achilles Carbon Accounting

Achilles Carbon Accounting is designed to help procurement professionals take control of Scope 3 emissions. Fully integrated with the Achilles platform, it enables construction buyers to:

• Map emissions across their supply chains using verified, GHG-compliant data
• Streamline supplier engagement with pre-built onboarding pathways
• Access advisory support to ensure compliance and reporting accuracy
• Benchmark supplier performance to identify carbon hotspots
• Generate reports aligned to CSRD, SECR, and the GHG Protocol

Unlike generic calculators or consultancy-led reports, Achilles Carbon Accounting is built for scale, supporting both top-tier contractors and complex multi-supplier ecosystems.

Real Value for Construction Procurement Teams

What makes the difference? Achilles combines over 30 years of supplier assurance expertise with powerful carbon analytics, giving buyers the tools they need to lead meaningful change.

And because it’s embedded in the Achilles platform, buyers benefit from access to thousands of suppliers already participating in industry networks reducing onboarding friction and improving data quality from day one.
