All the Ways Social Impact & Construction Intersect.

What’s the deal? Not to get into corporate speak of intersectionality. We are gong to talk about how social impact is intersecting with the construction industry,

Why is this important? Investors are paying attention. Investors are taking their calls for ESG to construction investments. States are calling for specifics in projects too. The director of sustainability at Skanska USA, pointed to Washington state’s proposed Buy Clean-Buy Fair Act, which would mandate that any building materials procured with tax dollars are manufactured in a cleaner, less carbon-intensive way, and via fair labor practices.

How can this impact us? If construction companies aren’t up on their ESG, the investors say they’ll pull their funding.
