Empowering Construction and Real Estate Companies to Reduce their Environmental Impact, Promote Social Responsibility, and Build Trust with Stakeholders
The construction and real estate industry is one of the most important industries in the global economy, providing essential infrastructure and housing for communities around the world. The industry includes a wide range of businesses, from small contractors to large developers and property managers.
However, the industry is also responsible for a significant share of global greenhouse gas emissions and resource consumption. Buildings account for approximately 40% of global energy consumption and 33% of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to the International Energy Agency. This highlights the need for the industry to take action to reduce its environmental impact and promote sustainable development.
In addition to environmental concerns, the construction and real estate industry also faces a number of unique social and governance challenges. For example, the industry has been criticized for contributing to urban sprawl, which can lead to social isolation and economic inequality. There are also concerns about the quality and safety of building materials, as well as labor practices and working conditions in the industry.
In response to these challenges, many construction and real estate companies are adopting sustainability practices that promote resource efficiency, social responsibility, and environmental stewardship. This includes reducing energy consumption through the use of renewable energy sources and energy-efficient building materials, minimizing waste through recycling and reuse, and promoting sustainable building materials that are environmentally friendly and socially responsible.
