Johnsson, Filip, Ida Karlsson, Johan Rootzén, Anders Ahlbäck, and Mathias Gustavsson. "The Framing of a Sustainable Development Goals Assessment in Decarbonizing the Construction Industry – Avoiding “Greenwashing”". October 01, 2020. https://www.sciencedirect.com/...
To avoid the use of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for greenwashing, construction projects must include both long-term and short-term factors in assessing their SDG sustainability. However, companies rarely use SDG assessments as a tool for decisions for real change towards more sustainable and equitable corporate practices. SDG assessments must be transparent on dealing with the long-term climate target, to keep them from contributing to yet another layer of greenwashing. This paper presents an approach for a thorough – “non greenwashing” – way of an SDG assessment, with the objective of helping construction companies and others minimize future business risks.
