Dallas-based infrastructure consulting firm AECOM has entered into a multiyear global agreement with One Click LCA Ltd. to access the latter company’s sustainability platform for the built environment.
Finland-based One Click LCA offers a suite of carbon assessment and other sustainability tools for buildings and infrastructure projects "without geographic limitations." The collaboration enhances AECOM’s ScopeX approach that has been designed to deliver a 50 percent carbon reduction outcome on major client projects.
The agreement grants AECOM access to One Click LCA’s verified platform, enabling comprehensive carbon data collection and seamless integration into the ScopeX portal, says the Finnish firm, helping AECOM demonstrate measurable progress to clients.
“This partnership with One Click LCA is a key enabler for our project decarbonization efforts,” says Todd Battley, AECOM’s chief strategy officer. “By integrating these advanced carbon assessment tools, we are able to operationalize carbon management into our major projects and track our efforts toward our goal of significantly reducing the carbon footprint of the projects we deliver for our clients.”
Recycling methods and recycled-content building materials, including steel, aluminum, concrete, cement and polymers, typically fare well in scorecards designed to demonstrate a low carbon footprint and may also show favorable life cycle analysis results.
“Collaborating with AECOM aligns with our commitment to powering the makers of a zero-carbon future," One Click LCA founder and CEO Panu Pasanen says. "Our platform will empower AECOM to scale their decarbonization efforts and deliver measurable sustainability impact for AECOM’s clients worldwide.”
One Click LCA says AECOM is committed to fostering a sustainable culture by implementing comprehensive sustainability training programs and a global sustainability risk framework aligned with its Sustainable Legacies strategy.
