The construction sector has a substantial impact on most of the industries across the globe, especially on account of the industry having relatively high exposure to environmental impacts, social risks and governance issues (ESG).

Important ESG metrics for construction industry are primarily illustrated below but not limited to:

Workforce health and safety and thereafter of the end-user in the construction life-cycle

Design for resource efficiency

Community impact of the new construction

Climate change adaptation

On this backdrop, the industry needs to take cues from global ESG principles and make their projects more attractive by reaping the fruits of a sustainable building and being compliant to laws in India.
