The global construction industry is the world’s largest consumer of raw materials.  Construction accounts for 25%–40% of total carbon emissions globally.  Companies across all sectors of the construction value chain are embedding sustainability into their operations and products, developing innovative green products, advocating sustainability standards, and integration into the circular economy.  Construction companies around the world are facing pressure from investors, banks, regulators, contracting authorities, and consumers to mitigate their climate risk and implement solutions to reduce their carbon footprint.  They are becoming increasingly accountable for their contribution to global emissions and making progress toward addressing these concerns.
