12 APPOINTMENTS & NEWS CCF launches its groundbreaking new carbon report tool L
eading interior building products distributor CCF is taking carbon calculations to the next level with the launch of CCF
Connect – a bespoke new reporting tool that provides a comprehensive and shareable assessment of the carbon impact of the building products it supplies. The launch of CCF Connect builds on the
earlier development of the company’s delivery- focused carbon reporting tool which began trials in 2023. Following feedback and further investment from CCF, the off ering has evolved to allow CCF’s customers to track, collate, and share more accurate data relating to carbon emissions generated at the manufacturing and delivery stages. The new tool has been developed with both main contractor and subcontractor customers in mind and has been specifi cally designed to help connect the supply chain by consolidating available carbon data. By factoring in key product details such as dimensions, weight, thickness, and manufacturer Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), CCF Connect can provide a more precise and holistic view of a product’s carbon footprint. It also off ers ‘real-time’ insights to allow customers to track the exact products delivered to site, supporting compliance and reducing waste from surplus orders. Construction Carbon, a leading independent
carbon performance verifi cation company, has verifi ed CCF Connect in line with the requirements of ISO14064-3. This international
standard provides guidelines for quantifying, monitoring, reporting, and verifying greenhouse gas emissions statements and specifi cally focuses on the validation and verifi cation of carbon calculations in terms of their accuracy and reliability. The licensed Carbon Connect system allows
CCF’s supply chain partners to work together by simplifying the reporting process and facilitating collaboration in sharing valuable carbon data. For main contractors, this means subcontractor partners can easily share data to assist with SCOPE 3 and other bespoke project reports. As well as supporting their own customers in this way, subcontractors can also benefi t from having access to a user- friendly tool that allows them to take direct control of their carbon reporting needs and reduce the cost and reliance of using third- party consultants.
Phil Monkman, head of sales & sustainability solutions at CCF, highlighted the transformative potential of CCF Connect, stating: “From supporting subcontractors in tracking their carbon footprints to assisting main contractors with Scope 3 reporting, our industry thrives when we work together. CCF Connect is a game-changer in making carbon reporting simpler, more accurate, and more accessible. We occupy a central position within the supply chain and we recognise both the opportunity and responsibility it gives us. We don’t believe that any other UK distributor can currently off er this type of carbon reporting tool and we are excited to be able to support our customers in this way.” Gilbert Lennox-King, co-founder and CEO
of Construction Carbon, added: “CCF Connect is a really smart product. With sustainability having an ever-increasing emphasis during the procurement process, it allows main contractors and particularly specialist contractors to secure more opportunities by providing a straightforward means of reporting their carbon data. We are looking forward to continuing to work with CCF as the new tool gains traction and is used on more live projects across the UK. The launch of CCF Connect marks an important step forward in the distributor and merchant sector and we are excited to see the diff erence it makes to the wider construction industry.”
