Sustainability has been a core focus and topic of discussion at ODGroup. in recent years, driven by the need to see change in the construction industry and the collective drive towards achieving net zero by 2050, in line with the UK’s commitments.

ODGroup. were making a conscious effort to improve their sustainability performance, however, in order to gain a true measure of their project’s impact needed more accurate data for their indirect (Scope 3) greenhouse gas emissions. Historically, ODGroup. collated data such as waste, energy usage and delivery mileage in isolation, requiring high levels of manual labour that upon reflection, could be automated and reported on more accurately with the correct software.

ODGroup. had three core goals that would help them improve their sustainability performance:

• Be able to see the bigger picture, collating data to view performance and set targets
• Improve reporting for active operations and projects, ultimately formulating a baseline that can be improved on in the future
• Make sustainability accessible to all, including their supplier network

A key factor to improving their sustainability performance was not only reliant on finding a digital solution that could achieve the above, ODGroup. required a software that could integrate well with their existing systems – Procore and innDex.

Better Reporting

From the adoption of SustainIQ in January 2023, ODGroup. has successfully engaged in better reporting for their operations and projects. Through a single use platform, ODGroup. can now view all ESG data on projects and their office. ODGroup. can view up to date information instantly and hope to convey this across digital signage to visually represent performance. Not only is data now more accurate, but the time-savings on each and every project are leading to company-wide efficiencies and cost-savings.

A clearer, bigger picture

With data now at their fingertips, ODGroup. are collating data to form a baseline in which they can improve on in the coming years, with the first report calculating their carbon footprint. From there, they will set targets and locate key areas of focus for a carbon reduction plan and pathway to Net Zero.

Accessible sustainability and integrations for success

SustainIQ has made data input simple, resulting in a greater uptake on training and engagement across their internal teams and wider supply chain. Through the development of an API with their waste contractor, ODGroup. are now able to automate data input and report on live data. This allows their team to make more agile decisions regarding waste performance.
