REAL ESTATE AND CONSTRUCTION ESG in construction: managing risks and driving profits Sustainability risk is one the biggest risks faced by the construction industry, but it is also one of the biggest opportunities for market leadership and future-proofing profitability. Sustainable construction ensures that negative impacts are minimised, and positive impacts are maximised to achieve a balance of environmental, economic, and social performance. Global construction output is forecast to grow 42% by 2030. The construction industry generates an estimated 39% of the world’s carbon emissions, according to the World Green Building Council (WGBC).
