Material ESG Topics
Which ESG topics are most material for construction & real estate companies?
Carbon Gets Locked In at the Design Stage, Long Before Occupancy
Material choices made early in a project's design determine a large share of its lifetime emissions, so a building's carbon footprint is substantially fixed before construction even begins. Retrofitting for lower carbon after design is far more expensive than designing for it upfront.
