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.”


                           4.  Using Data-Driven Insights to Enhance Risk Management
               Last year, as much as $40 billion was wasted in the construction industry due to
               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
