This article will look at how the modern construction industry is coming
under increased pressure to embrace more ethical and sustainable practices. The
attached infographic outlines the potential benefits of CSR in the construction
industry today.
CSR has become an important focus for businesses operating in all industries,
particularly construction. Investors and purchasers are making more socially
and environmentally conscious decisions when it comes to choosing which
projects to back, with consumers and investors alike increasingly showing a
preference for organisations that are taking measurable steps to minimise the
impact of their operations on people and the environment. Consumers are
increasingly migrating towards companies that strive to have a positive impact
wherever possible. The attached PDF takes a closer look at CSR and its
increasing importance in the modern business world.
Customers, investors and employees all want to be associated with
organisations that prioritise the welfare of their workforce and others who may
be affected by their operations. In construction, like other arenas, businesses
are coming under increasing pressure to improve their CSR efforts. Since
construction can have a considerable impact on both employees and local
communities, adopting a robust and proactive approach to CSR is crucial for all
businesses operating in the industry today.
Under Jamie Ritblat’s leadership, Delancey Real Estate is committed to
delivering places that have social, environmental and economic value, ensuring
the company’s commercial success in a rapidly changing world. The company is
committed to integrating sustainability via environmental and social
initiatives throughout all of its planning, development and asset management
activities.
To contribute to a sense of place, Delancey Real Estate strives to
understand the history of the site and buildings with each development project,
identifying the location’s demography, character and cultural personality.
Delancey Real Estate provides public spaces that are safe and managed in such a way that they provide both planned and unanticipated opportunities for residents to interact with each other, instilling community spirit in local communities. Delancey Real Estate provides variety in design, integrating with established buildings and urban realms to provide an overall sense of coherence and richness of character.
