Guidelines to Enhance CSR in the Construction Sector

The project has carried out important theoretical research on CSR issues related to the constructions sector in five countries: Italy, Spain, Austria, Hungary and Portugal.  The project analyzed 114 best practices within the four focus areas: health&safety, eco-compatibility, supply chain, equal opportunities. The Guidelines focus on the description of the possible solutions for each of the four dimensions. Finally, they include a brief analysis on the role of public authorities, trade unions and business associations, as well as a synthesis of the main management standards that have been set in the field of CSR.

 

The Guidelines are targeted at companies in the construction sector with the aim to promote the adoption of CSR practices and to develop business actions in accordance with desired economic and sustainability performances.
