Built for UK construction teams

Environmental Management
Plan software

Turn a static EMP document into a live system. Nine fixed sections — waste, noise, air quality, dust, water, biodiversity, spill response, carbon and monitoring — each with a status, a named owner and a compliance score driven by what's actually logged.

What's included

Everything a UK contractor needs
to run a live EMP

From the planning-stage document to the audit evidence a client or assessor actually checks.

9 fixed EMP sections

Waste, noise & vibration, air quality, dust control, water protection, biodiversity, spill response, carbon reduction, and monitoring & responsibilities — the same ground every credible EMP covers.

Compliance score per section

Driven by what's actually logged against each section, not a self-assessed status nobody revisits once the plan is approved.

Named ownership

A responsible person and review date against every section — the part most EMPs get thinnest, and the one an auditor checks first.

Linked incidents & inspections

Your Spill Response section references the incidents it was actually invoked for, not a procedure that's never been tested against real data.

Live, not static

Updates as the project runs — which sections are active, which have open issues — instead of describing intent frozen at the point of planning approval.

Alongside everything else

Waste, water, carbon and biodiversity data all feed the same EMP — one coherent story, not a plan disconnected from the data behind it.

Why switch

Replace the filed-and-forgotten PDF

Everything a Word document promises at tender stage, actually kept live through the job.

How to start

Three steps to a live,
auditable EMP

Set up your 9 sections

Name a responsible person and review date for each — waste, noise, air quality, water, biodiversity and more.

Log site data as work happens

Incidents, inspections, waste and water records feed straight into the relevant EMP section.

Compliance score updates automatically

A live picture of every section, ready whenever a planning officer, client or assessor asks.

Standards covered

Built around who actually
asks for an EMP

Almost every major contract, planning condition or ISO 14001 audit expects one.

Planning conditions (CEMP)

Many local authorities require an approved EMP before works can start, particularly near watercourses or protected species.

ISO 14001 certification

Auditors expect to see EMPs in place and actively followed, not just filed at the point of certification.

Main contractors & clients

Tier 1 contractors frequently require every subcontractor to work to a site-wide EMP.

Insurers & funders

Some project finance and insurance arrangements expect evidence of active environmental risk management.

The framework behind the software

What a credible EMP covers, and how it connects to your wider environmental reporting.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is Environmental Management Plan software?

It turns a static EMP document into a live system that tracks a construction site's environmental risks — waste, noise, air quality, water, biodiversity and more — against real logged data, rather than a PDF written once at tender and never opened again.

What sections does VerdCore's EMP cover?

Nine fixed sections: Waste Management, Noise and Vibration, Air Quality, Dust Control, Water Protection, Biodiversity Protection, Spill Response, Carbon Reduction Measures, and Monitoring and Responsibilities — the same ground a planning officer, client auditor or ISO 14001 assessor expects a credible EMP to cover.

How is the compliance score calculated?

Each section's compliance score is driven by what's actually logged against it — incidents, inspections, waste and water data recorded elsewhere in VerdCore — rather than a self-assessed status a site manager sets once and forgets to update.

Can I use this to satisfy a planning condition (CEMP)?

VerdCore's EMP covers the sections a Construction Environmental Management Plan planning condition typically expects, with named ownership and a review date per section. Always confirm the specific wording of your planning condition against what's produced.

Does it support ISO 14001 audits?

Yes. An ISO 14001 auditor expects to see EMPs in place and actively followed, not just filed. A live EMP with named ownership, review dates and linked incident data is exactly the evidence an audit looks for.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. VerdCore is free to start, with a 14-day Pro trial and no card required. Paid plans start from £19/month for firms that need more projects, reports and team seats.
