Social sustainability or #ESG considerations are increasingly important in the construction industry. The challenge for clients and principal contractors is how to assess and drive change through their supply chains. And for contractors, how do they prove their level of sustainability across their businesses?

Greenwashing. As the global push for sustainability continues, the construction industry faces an urgent challenge: the pervasive issue of greenwashing. A groundbreaking survey, initiated by Futurebuild and The Anti-Greenwash Charter, delves into this pressing concern. They have a webinar this week which will look at the findings of their survey and the implications for companies.

Great interview by Kellie Ballew with Building Transparency Executive Director Stacy Smedley discussing the importance of decarbonization of building materials and how data and digital tools like EC3 can help drive change.

In our Sustainability Survey 2023 on the global construction industry, the four focus regions were Asia Pacific, Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East & Africa. Interestingly, the Middle East & Africa lead the pack with their efforts to track embodied carbon. Be sure to download the full report on our findings when it becomes available.

The Construction Industry Federation (CIF) and Goodbody Clearstream have collaborated to create a half day programme titled "Sustainability Principles for The Construction Sector". This practical course offers insights into critical areas such as Sustainability Drivers, Footprinting, Biodiversity & Nature, and the Sustainability Jobs to be done. The programme is designed to support construction professionals as they navigate and develop their approach to ESG and Sustainability. It's specifically aimed towards construction company senior leaders, executives, and those tasked with developing and delivering on sustainability strategies. Don't miss out on this opportunity to enhance your sustainability knowledge and make an impact in the construction industry. #sustainabilty #esg #construction https://lnkd.in/eA-arE99

Register today (last year's ESG workshop sold out): On Sept. 26 in Washington, D.C., GRESB and U.S. Green Building Council will convene the ESG Innovation and Foundations Workshop. The full-day event is part of the main Greenbuild program and included in the admission for most attendees. The workshop kicks off with a forward-looking discussion about the future of green building and ESG, followed by a deeper dive into foundational issues needed to create best-in-class green building and ESG initiatives. Part 1: ESG Innovation Peter Templeton, president and CEO of USGBC and GBCI, will host and facilitate a conversation among industry leaders, including Michael Brooks (REALPAC), Gunnar Branson (AFIRE), and Davina Rooney (Green Building Council of Australia). This discussion will provide a global perspective on the issues and trends shaping the industry, which will be followed by a deeper dive into the strategies and tools shaping decarbonization. Participants will also hear from Elena Alschuler (LaSalle), Kit Milnes (KingSett Capital), and Martha Campbell (Rocky Mountain Institute). Together, they will share perspectives on decarbonization pathways, emerging approaches to capital planning and potentially transformative approaches to large-scale, deep retrofits. Part 2: ESG Foundations Learn about ESG foundations, with a focus on opportunities for architecture, engineering, construction (AEC), and facilities management professionals. Ben Myers (Boston Properties) will kick things off by giving his perspective on the evolution of the industry and what, exactly, AEC/FM professionals need to know to be effective in the changing environment. https://lnkd.in/d9rRkKB3
