FAQ
- Align on goals: Make embodied carbon a procurement priority, not just a sustainability checkbox. Set shared metrics.
- Specify lower carbon materials: Add embodied carbon criteria to supplier requirements and RFPs. Need help making the case? Download our finance cheat sheet.
- Engage suppliers early: Stronger relationships lead to better options. Host a supplier roundtable or sign up for our webinar interest list on bridging procurement and sustainability.
- Act now, optimize later: If direct lower carbon procurement isn’t feasible yet, consider Book & Claim models or carbon credits as immediate steps.
Not always. Even when it does, the investment often pays off. Lower carbon concrete can improve durability, reduce maintenance, and help meet regulatory requirements—cutting long-term costs. Financial incentives, tax credits, and green financing are making these materials more competitive. With carbon regulations tightening, investing now can help avoid future compliance costs while strengthening supply chain resilience.
What incentives matter most to your team? Help shape industry solutions by taking our survey.
Yes. Embodied carbon falls under Scope 3 because it comes from the materials and supply chains before a building is operational.
How is your company approaching Scope 3? Share your challenges and priorities in our survey.
-
- Use lower carbon materials: like cement alternatives and recycled aggregates.
- Optimize design: with smarter mix designs and modular construction.
- Leverage proven technology: like CarbonCure’s CO₂ mineralization to cut emissions without sacrificing performance.
- Integrate EPDs and LCAs: into procurement to ensure measurable reductions.
- Explore market-based solutions: like Book & Claim models or carbon credits as interim steps.

The view from the summit
The toughest part of the climb defines the leaders who reach the top. Embodied carbon has been overlooked for too long, but the companies that act now will shape the future of resilient construction.
A world where every building actively contributes to net-zero goals is within reach. Procurement and sustainability teams can move in lockstep. Low carbon materials can become the expectation, not the exception.
That future is within reach. The last stretch is the hardest—but it’s also where the real progress happens. Let’s finish the climb.
