ESG Essentials for Construction SMEs

Service Description

𝗦𝗬𝗡𝗢𝗣𝗦𝗜𝗦 ESG doesn’t need to be complicated or corporate. This one-day workshop breaks down what Environmental, Social, and Governance really mean for construction, helping you lay the foundations of a responsible, future-ready business in clear, practical terms that make sense on site and in the boardroom. 𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪 More and more clients are asking about ESG — from embedded frameworks and social value metrics to sustainability KPIs. For smaller contractors, it can feel like a box-ticking exercise or something meant for the “big players.” This practical, hands-on session cuts through the fluff. You’ll learn what ESG really looks like in construction, what’s expected of you, and how to use it to your advantage — from winning work to building stronger teams and supply chains. Through real examples, open discussion, and step-by-step tools, you’ll discover what you’re already doing well, where the gaps are, and how to make measurable improvements that fit your size and resources. You’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and actionable tools for using ESG to strengthen your reputation, meet client expectations, and future-proof your business.
