#NetZero through EPD Automation: The 4 Million Hour Breakthrough Cementing a Net Zero Future. ? Welcome to the very first edition of our #HeroesofNetZero series: Spotlighting the Trailblazers and Innovations Driving Net Zero Concrete by 2050. In this series, we’re diving into the challenges facing true Net Zero Cement and Concrete, across the value chain of sustainable construction – today, we’re focusing on Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). ? The construction industry is evolving rapidly under the influence of Buy Clean policies, which prioritise sustainability in publicly funded projects. For cement and concrete producers, this means one thing: EPDs are no longer optional – they're a necessity. ? But what exactly is an EPD? Think of it as the environmental equivalent of nutrition facts. Instead of calories and carbs, EPDs break down the chemicals and carbon footprint of a product, providing transparency for more sustainable construction. ? Here’s the challenge: ? To comply with Buy Clean mandates, producers will need to generate EPDs for every batch they sell in certain regions. ? Traditional EPD generation methods rely heavily on manual data collection – over 40 hours per plant per EPD. ?With demand set to quadruple by 2030, the industry could face a staggering 4 million hours of manual work per year, just to meet requirements. A monumental task - surely we can do better? ? ?? Enter Pathways. Our first Hero of NetZero. Pathways is transforming the way EPDs are generated, cutting the process from months to days by leveraging: ?? Automatic data collection: Integrating with systems like SAP, PowerBI, and Command Alkon for seamless data ingestion. ?? AI-driven efficiencies: Automating life cycle assessments and publishing EPDs in real time. ? By embedding EPD generation into existing workflows, Pathways is empowering producers to stay ahead of the curve, reduce costs, and remain competitive in a sustainability-driven market. ? The stakes are clear: Producers without EPD capabilities risk losing out on projects. But with the right tools, what seems like a daunting challenge becomes an opportunity to lead in a greener construction era, with Major Industry leaders already picking up the technology. ? Another exciting innovation and brick on the road to enabling True Net Zero. #HeroesOfNetZero #Cement #Concrete #Decarbonisation

We’re thrilled to partner with forward-thinking companies like Stella-Jones. Creating a data layer on top of their original data stack that drives real impact for their company is how we help streamline sustainability practices. Now, they can publish EPDs with confidence, knowing that they are making data-driven decisions that are environmentally conscious. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/g-9tnXPZ.

“Auditors are really raising the bar around how companies need to solidify their reporting processes.” - Anne Koch, Heidelberg Materials As companies face increasing reporting demands from frameworks like the GHG protocol and CSRD, the pressure to ensure accurate reporting is higher than ever. Pathways empowers businesses to streamline their reporting processes, automate data handling and ensure compliance with standards in mind. Our platform allows you to stay ahead of evolving sustainability efforts and keep the auditing process seamless and simple.

What a week last week at World of Concrete 2025! The energy from this conference was unmatched, and our team had a great time meeting industry professionals and diving into conversations about concrete, sustainability, and solutions.? A special shout out ?? to the team at Command Alkon— particularly Chris Strickland, Ranjeev Teelock, and Lori Allen. We are so excited to have Command Alkon as a partner and energized to bring Command Cloud Sustainability to the industry. Until next year ?? #WOC2025 #worldofconcrete

It is looking likely that Trump will stop and change many green incentives which have driven adoption of cleantech in the past, how will these companies adopt? Watch my full length Forbes interview with Alex Cooper, co-CEO at Pathways below, here are some highlights: Maximize Current Federal Support: They are benefiting from the Inflation Reduction Act, which provides funding to offset the costs of creating Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). This funding helps manufacturers adopt their services without the full financial burden. Focusing on Economic Efficiency: Pathways integrates sustainability with economic impact. By helping manufacturers optimize processes—such as sourcing materials more efficiently or reducing energy consumption—the company ties sustainability efforts to measurable cost savings, strengthening the business case for their services. Providing Continuous Value: Their platform offers ongoing, automated updates to environmental nutrition facts through digital twin technology, making sustainability an integrated and economically beneficial process rather than a one-time expense. ??
