Subcontractors—Don’t Let ESG Reporting Block Your Next Job

The New Reason You Might Lose Your Next Contract (And How to Fix It Fast)

It used to be that if you delivered quality work, on time and at a fair price, you stayed on the preferred contractor list. Not anymore.

Today, more Tier 1 developers, councils, and public infrastructure clients are asking for something new: your ESG data.
Specifically:

• How much carbon are your trucks emitting?

• What percentage of your waste is recycled or diverted from landfill?

• Can you prove where your loads went?

And if you can’t provide that? You might not win the job.

Why Is This Happening?

The answer comes down to Scope 3 emissions—the indirect carbon footprint that developers, councils, and utilities are now required to report.

And guess what? That includes your trucks, your waste, and your fuel use. In many cases, your activities account for the majority of their project's total emissions.

Governments, investors, and clients are tightening the rules. So developers and councils are tightening theirs. If you want to stay competitive, you need to prove your environmental performance—just like you prove your insurance or safety compliance.

But I’m a Subcontractor—How Am I Supposed to Track That?

That’s exactly why we built Hub360.

It’s a mobile app and simple dashboard designed specifically for subcontractors in construction, logistics, and waste. You can use it to:

• Log every load—by material, destination, and volume

• Automatically calculate landfill diversion and recycling performance

• Capture vehicle emissions and fuel data

• Generate reports to send with tenders or PQQs

It takes just a few minutes per job. No spreadsheets. No guesswork. And you don’t need to hire anyone to manage it.

Why Subcontractors Use Hub360

1. To stay on preferred supplier lists
   Clients want proof. Hub360 gives you something to send that looks professional, clean, and credible.

2. To avoid losing tenders on ESG grounds
   A great price won’t matter if you’re not ticking the carbon and circularity boxes. Hub360 helps you do that.

3. To save time and hassle
   Tracking waste and emissions doesn’t have to mean paperwork. Hub360 makes it easy, even on the go.

4. To build a greener, more competitive business
   More companies are asking contractors to align with their sustainability goals. Hub360 shows you’re ready.

Final Word

You don’t need to become an ESG expert. You just need the right tool to show you’re part of the solution—not the problem.
