Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• CSR is often not considered a serious component of business strategy, and is often done out of compulsion, which limits organisations from realizing the true business value and bottom line gains of a robust CSR strategy.

Mitigation Strategies

• Setting KPIs with measurable targets is essential for the long-term tracking of goals, and can assist with standardization and benchmarking across the industry. This could be achieved through the adoption of international standards such as ISO 14001 and ISO 26000, as well as publishing annual CSR reports as per the GRI standard. Additionally, engaging third party verification would introduce an added layer of reliability and transparency to the process, helping ensure that construction companies maintain the highest standards across all CSR practices.
