ESG in Construction Risk Management

Abstract

ESG refers to environmental, social, and governance in the construction sector and can contribute to the sustainability of the companies in the construction sector. This indicates that while planning and developing a project from beginning to end, all ESG risks should be properly considered. ESG risk management and reporting are particularly significant in the construction sector. A strong ESG approach may improve supply chain efficiency, minimize health and safety concerns, reduce emissions, and encourage effective investment. Managing ESG risks is a great way for businesses engaged in the construction sector to attract investors and boost senior management expectations. This chapter aims to illustrate how a construction company may mitigate the risks faced within the use of ESG risk management. Findings illustrate that strategies based on ESG risk management can help companies in the construction sector to protect the environment and society and create long-term value for their business.
