Join our free webinar, ‘Why waiting for carbon reporting enforcement could cost you’, on 8 September at 2pm
Many businesses know stricter carbon reporting requirements are coming. Yet plenty are still relying on processes that were never designed to capture the relevant data.
For now, that may be enough. Enforcement remains inconsistent, and client demands vary. But when the time comes, carbon readiness isn’t something organisations can switch on overnight. Businesses that can prove long-term, consistent, reliable carbon data will be in a stronger, more competitive position when expectations tighten.
The good news is that building that foundation is often simpler than people expect.
That’s exactly what we’ll explore in our upcoming webinar, ‘Why waiting for carbon reporting enforcement could cost you’, taking place on 8 September at 2pm.
The webinar: a practical industry discussion on carbon management
This session brings together industry insight and practical experience.
Two guests are joining host Ashley Wing, Re-flow’s VP of strategic growth & partnerships:
- Richard Smith, carbon measurement and reduction specialist at Auditel
- Hannah Bradley, Re-flow product manager and carbon lead
Richard specialises in carbon measurement, carbon reduction planning, and PAS 2080 implementation across the built environment sector and will be available for a Q&A session at the end.
He brings real experience to the webinar:
- He works with infrastructure and construction organisations to strengthen carbon reporting processes and build readiness for evolving industry requirements.
- He helps these organisations achieve PAS 2080 compliance.
- He’s qualified in the GHG (greenhouse gas) Protocol Accounting & Reporting Standard,
- The ISO 14064-1 (greenhouse gas quantification and reporting) standard,
- And in ISO 14068 (carbon neutrality).
Hannah will focus on operational data capture, the role of day-to-day site information, and how better records today can support future reporting requirements.
They’ll discuss how expectations are changing across the industry and the practical steps organisations can take to prepare.
Who should attend?
This webinar will be particularly relevant for:
- Highways contractors
- Civil engineering businesses
- Groundworks organisations
- Infrastructure providers
- Operational leaders responsible for compliance, reporting, or project delivery
- Businesses exploring PAS 2080 requirements
Whether you’re working towards PAS 2080 adoption or simply trying to understand where the industry is heading, the session will provide practical insight into the challenges ahead and how organisations are preparing for them.
What we’ll cover
The current carbon reporting landscape
We’ll start by looking at where the industry stands today. PAS 2080 adoption remains uneven, reporting expectations differ between clients, and many organisations still rely on spreadsheets and manual processes. We’ll also address a common question: if current methods are working, why change them?
What’s changing across infrastructure?
Client expectations, framework commitments, tender requirements, and wider sustainability pressures are all evolving. We’ll discuss why demand for carbon evidence is increasing and why many businesses are seeing expectations rise before formal enforcement catches up.
The hidden cost of waiting
The biggest challenge is rarely creating a report. It’s having the right data available when it’s needed.
We’ll explore the impact of historic data gaps, inconsistent records, manual calculations, and the difficulties businesses face when they’re asked to evidence information that was never systematically captured in the first place.
Building carbon readiness through better operational data
We’ll look at practical ways to improve data collection today, including materials, plant usage, fuel consumption, mileage, logistics, and other operational records that support both day-to-day management and future reporting requirements.
What future-ready looks like
We’ll examine the journey many organisations follow, from disconnected spreadsheets and basic record keeping to structured reporting processes and PAS 2080 alignment.
The focus is on progress, helping businesses understand what good looks like at each stage rather than striving for perfection from day one.
How operational data supports future reporting
We’ll finish by exploring how connected operational data can reduce reporting effort, strengthen audit trails, improve confidence in reported figures, and make it easier to scale reporting processes as requirements continue to evolve.
