3. Increased Sustainability Regulation Leads to More Formalised ESG
Programmes
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) is now top of mind for every business,
especially construction which continues to have a large carbon footprint. As we head
into next year, we expect there will be a move to a more universal or standardised
method of carbon reporting in the built environment.
“Many construction companies now routinely report on their ESG efforts and they
typically appoint a vice president or executive to oversee this important area of the
business,” said Sandra Benson, Vice President of Industry Strategy. “Not having an
ESG programme in place could potentially disqualify a company from consideration for
a project. In the future, the inability to meet ESG requirements may even prevent
companies from submitting bids altogether.”

inefficiencies and poor productivity. Construction companies are looking for a platform
that can connect their construction data, structure that data and then glean insights to
help reduce risks on future projects. Groundbreaking solutions like Procore Risk
