The Bridge to a Sustainable Supply Chain
At Sustainable Contractor, we are the vital link between the UK’s leading Main Contractors and the specialised supply chain that powers the construction and FM industries. We aren't just another 'carbon reporting' company, we understand construction form the ground up.
We recognise the "Scope 3 Gap". Main Contractors are under immense pressure to report accurate carbon data, while sub-contractors are often overwhelmed by the technical requirements of modern tendering. We are the bridge that connects the two.
Our Mission
We take the complexity out of carbon reporting by doing the heavy lifting for both sides. We provide human-led, manual verification that ensures data integrity for Main Contractors and "Tender-Ready" status for the supply chain.
How We Solve the Scope 3 Puzzle
For Main Contractors: Total Transparency at Zero Cost
We act as your outsourced sustainability department. By mandating or encouraging our certification within your supply chain, you gain a third-party verified database of your Scope 3 Upstream emissions. We do all the administrative legwork—chasing data, verifying submissions against ISO 14064-3, and ensuring compliance with PPN 006 and SECR—at no cost to your business.
For the Supply Chain: Your Competitive Advantage
We help sub-contractors and smaller firms turn environmental compliance into a tool for growth. Whether you are bidding for work with Local Authorities and Housing Associations or seeking to maintain your Constructionline (Gold/Platinum) or SafeContractor status, we provide the expert "Carbon Management Plan" you need to win.
The Sustainable Contractor Advantage
In an industry full of automated "black-box" software, we believe in the power of manual collation. Our experts work one-on-one with contractors to ensure
-
Accuracy: We sense-check every data point across the 6 Carbon Categories, ensuring your footprint reflects the reality of site life.

Compliance: We produce bespoke Carbon Management Plans (CMP) aligned with ISO 14064-1, moving you beyond generic templates to professional-grade documentation.

Audit-Ready Results: We provide the answers to the difficult environmental questions asked in Constructionline and CHAS audits, removing the friction from your accreditation renewals.
