The construction sector is under a strong transformation, partly due to accelerating digitalization and partly due to an increase in sustainability requirements. The drivers of digitalization are increased productivity, efficiency, and quality, whereas the requirements on sustainability performance are related to many external forces impacting the sector, such as stricter regulations on the verifiability of claims concerning total resource efficiency, emissions, and waste management. In particular, this leads to the transport actors within the construction sector who need a strategy to digitalize their sustainability information handling, from data sources on vehicle, fuel, good, endpoints, and routes to total logistics commissions and projects, as well as how to integrate their data and information with other actors in the construction sector. This paper investigates this issue by assessing approaches to this combined challenge and shows how to integrate data exchange standards of the construction sector (the Swedish BEAst and the international PEPPOL) with an ISO standard for controlling the verifiability of quantitative sustainability information. The research shows how such standards-based requirements on data exchange between and from all construction transport actors and stakeholders throughout full product life cycles and total transport chains enable digitalization and data flows in a cost-efficient way and with short lead time. This in turn intends to reduce administrational costs and errors, as well as facilitate follow-up, traceability, verifiability, efficiency, as well as improves the managerial control necessary to reduce societal and environmental risks. © The Author(s)
