Due diligence essentials for responsible construction

The publication covers three interconnected subsectors: real estate, construction materials and construction. It examines key environmental, social and governance risks and impacts, including environmental damage, labour rights violations, occupational health and safety risks, exploitation of migrant workers and corruption.

Particular attention is given to the challenges of implementing due diligence in fragmented supply chains involving extensive subcontracting and intermediaries. The publication also explores opportunities offered by technological tools, industry initiatives, certification schemes and approaches to resource circularity.

The publication is intended for companies operating both within and outside the construction sector, policymakers and other stakeholders.
