Our ConstructZero project will develop an industry first SaaS platform service to support the building sector significantly reduce its carbon footprint without additional administrative burden and financial risk for businesses. Designed to integrate with our existing building industry payment platform, ProjectPay, our ConstructZero project will involve further industrial research to inform our solution development and strengthen investor appeal.ConstructZero will ultimately allow service users to determine the carbon emissions of each building project and implement a carbon offset or reduction solution, spreading the cost of this across project participants as an operating cost. ProjectPay was developed to support the construction industry adopt an ethical approach to payment practices and this is a natural extension of our mission to transform business practices in the sector.The building industry is a major contributor of carbon emissions and needs to adapt its approach to respond to its ethical responsibilities to the environment and meet the growing expectations of consumers. For individual businesses the prospect of understanding carbon emission reduction and offsetting is daunting and, in many cases, outside of the scope of their capability. As a result, many will either defer action or be exposed to scams and poorly designed carbon offset projects.ProjectPay's concept will seamlessly integrate with our existing payment platform, allowing our clients to easily choose an appropriate mix of carbon reduction and offsetting solutions, benefiting from our team's expertise and due diligence without the challenges of achieving this in house. This solution will allow construction supply chain participants of all sizes to access ethical, responsible carbon solutions, benefiting from the economies of scale that the contribution of multiple project owners can deliver over the impact of a single business seeking a solution.There is no other service targeting the building industry, in the UK or globally, both in terms of this service and our transformative ProjectPay digital payment structure. With ProjectPay gaining rapid traction in the UK, and fully operational in Australia, we are in a strong position to leverage our growing customer base. With planned expansions into the USA and Canada, we have exponential opportunity to support businesses reduce their environmental impact.

我们的ConstructZero项目将开发行业首个SaaS平台服务，以支持建筑行业大幅减少碳足迹，而不会为企业带来额外的行政负担和财务风险。我们的ConstructZero项目旨在与我们现有的建筑行业支付平台ProjectPay整合，将涉及进一步的行业研究，为我们的解决方案开发提供信息，并增强投资者的吸引力。ConstructZero最终将允许服务用户确定每个建筑项目的碳排放量，并实施碳抵消或减排解决方案，将此成本作为运营成本分摊给项目参与者。ProjectPay的开发旨在支持建筑行业采用符合道德的付款方式，这是我们转变该行业商业惯例的使命的自然延伸。建筑行业是碳排放的主要来源，需要调整其方法以应对其对环境的道德责任，并满足消费者日益增长的期望。对于个体企业来说，理解碳减排和碳抵消的前景令人生畏，在许多情况下，超出了他们的能力范围。ProjectPay的概念将与我们现有的支付平台无缝集成，使我们的客户能够轻松地选择适当的碳减排和碳抵消解决方案组合，受益于我们团队的专业知识和尽职调查，而无需在内部实现这一目标。该解决方案将使各种规模的建筑供应链参与者都能获得符合道德标准、负责任的碳解决方案，受益于多个项目所有者的贡献所带来的规模经济，而不仅仅是寻求解决方案的单个企业的影响。无论是在英国还是全球，都没有其他针对建筑行业的服务，无论是就这项服务还是我们变革性的ProjectPay数字支付结构而言。随着ProjectPay在英国获得快速发展，并在澳大利亚全面运营，我们处于有利地位，可以利用我们不断增长的客户群。随着计划扩展到美国和加拿大，我们有机会支持企业减少对环境的影响。
