ESG IMPLEMENTATION IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRYACCORDING TO 2022-2024 SURVEYS

Original language description

The transition to sustainability will gradually change the face of businesses in all sectors, not least construction. In terms of adopted EU legislation, it will have the greatest impact on their activities in less than 5 years. For companies, the adoption of sustainability principles means new business conditions, new market opportunities, the possibility of acquiring resources, but also new responsibilities. One of these is the obligation to report on ESG (information on the impact of their business on the environment, people and society). This article presents the results of ten sustainability surveys conducted between 2022 and 2024. All the data was collected using the questionnaire method.The aim of the article was to determine the willingness of companies operating in the Czech market to integrate sustainability aspects into their corporate strategies and to publish sustainability (ESG) reports based on the published results. The results show that there is currently a large gap in the level of ESG implementation not only between large and medium-sized construction companies, but also between Czech and foreign companies. The research confirms that ESG awareness or activity decreases with the size of the company. Many small and micro companies believe that ESG does not affect them. The sooner companies start reporting standardised sustainability data, the sooner and easier they will be able to access more favourable loans and financing from investors, and the sooner they will be able to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals for Europe as a whole.
