VerdCore started as a carbon tracker. It's now a complete toolkit for every environmental obligation a UK contractor carries — carbon, waste, water, biodiversity, incidents, materials and your supply chain — with the audit evidence and certificates to prove it. Here's what's inside, in detail.
Every figure is calculated using the official DEFRA GHG conversion factors, and you can see the exact formula behind it.
Log fuel, materials, transport and waste as work happens. Each entry is converted to kg CO₂e and automatically sorted into the correct scope under the GHG Protocol, so your split is always tender-ready.
Real-time totals, a Scope 1/2/3 donut, weekly emission trends and automatic insights — like which site is your biggest emitter or whether you're over a carbon budget. Cost sits alongside carbon, so reduction decisions make commercial sense too.
Water reporting is hugely overlooked, and increasingly requested. Track fresh water use, recycling, discharge, rainwater harvesting and temporary supply across five streams, with a reduction % dashboard and evidence for consent compliance.
Track skip loads, disposal routes and costs, watch your recycling rate, and produce a Site Waste Management Plan from the same data.
Turn a static EMP document into a live system: 9 fixed sections, each with a status, a responsible person and a compliance score driven by what's actually logged. Site Inspections and Environmental Incidents share one log — category, risk level, photo & GPS evidence, an assignee, a deadline and a Pass/Fail result — so nothing falls through the cracks between a paper checklist and an email thread.
A digital inventory of every material on site — manufacturer, recycled content, disassembly instructions and planned end-of-life route — feeding a Circularity Score, an End-of-Life breakdown, and the Potential Carbon Savings if the plan is followed.
A built-in Biodiversity Metric 4.0 calculator to model habitat units and evidence the mandatory 10% net gain — sitting alongside your carbon data instead of in a separate spreadsheet.
Invite a supplier to a short ESG questionnaire — no VerdCore account needed on their side. Their answers are scored automatically across Carbon, Waste and BNG, with an overall score and a risk rating driven by whichever category is weakest, replacing the Excel-and-forget cycle.
Every audit asks the same question: show me the evidence. A waste transfer note, a training record, an inspection report, a permit. Instead of Dropbox, email, WhatsApp and paper files, every record in VerdCore carries its own photo, invoice or licence with GPS and a timestamp — and the Evidence Library searches all of it in one place. "Show every waste transfer note for Project X in May" becomes a filter, not a two-day search.
High-level business metrics, not raw data: Carbon (total, per project, per £1m contract value), Waste (recycling rate, diverted from landfill, tonnes produced), Water, Incidents (logged, inspections passed, overdue actions) and Compliance (active EMPs, Carbon Reduction Plans completed, ESG questionnaires completed) — across every site, so a manager sees whether performance is improving or worsening at a glance.
Generate the documents that win and keep work — as polished, branded PDFs, on demand. The Report Centre covers a Carbon Summary, a PAS 2080:2023 report, a PPN 06/21 Carbon Reduction Plan and a Full ESG report. Compliance Certificates go further, with 9 certificate types: Tender (Carbon Credentials), Environmental Compliance, Carbon Reporting, Carbon Reduction Plan, Biodiversity Net Gain, Environmental Performance, Supplier ESG Business, Site Compliance, and Annual Environmental Compliance. Alongside that, a broader Corporate Carbon Reduction Plan tracks your portfolio-wide trajectory and reduction initiatives year over year — not the formal tender document, but the ongoing plan behind it.
Every report and certificate shows its methodology and DEFRA source year, so it stands up to scrutiny.
Reports are polished documents for clients and regulators. Exports are the raw data behind them — Carbon logs, Waste data, Water records, Inspection records, the Incident register, KPI data and your Supplier list, each as a CSV — for internal analysis, finance, external consultants, Power BI or your auditors.
See how each site compares to UK industry averages, with a rating from Paris-aligned to typical. It's clear evidence of good practice you can put straight into a bid.
Get practical, project-specific suggestions to cut carbon — material swaps, fuel switching, logistics — generated from your own logged data, not generic advice.
Recent Activity shows everything that's happened, across every module. Notifications shows only what needs your attention — a task assigned to you, a new incident, a teammate's evidence upload, an ESG questionnaire response — a to-do list, not a firehose.
Install VerdCore to your phone's home screen and log entries even with no signal — data syncs automatically when you're back online. No app store required, and every update reaches you instantly.
