How digitalisation is making the construction industry sustainable
The construction industry faces significant challenges in reducing carbon emissions. The industry, in fact, generates over 10 million metric tons annually in the UK. Historically slow to adopt new technologies, the sector is starting to use digital transformation to improve environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting and achieve net-zero targets.
Unified data collection aids benchmarking on carbon, waste, and efficiency, while fostering transparency and shared learning.
Although digitalisation can be met with resistance, it helps establish industry standards. Successful implementation of digital systems supports ESG goals, improves accountability, and enhances supply chain collaboration, as demonstrated through achievements like SKA Gold accreditation.
