Sustainability Leaders in Construction Industry: A Preliminary Study
With the increasing need of sustainable development globally, many world-leading construction companies have devoted great efforts to implementing sustainable practices. RobecoSAM publishes Sustainability Yearbook annually since 2004, which lists the sustainability leaders in various industries, including construction industry. Learning from those sustainability leaders in construction industry can provide useful references for construction related companies when developing their sustainable development strategies. Based on comprehensive literature review, this paper thus identified 51 methods used for improving sustainability performance and 34 outcomes achieved through these methods. The methods and outcomes are used for coding the sustainable practices of sustainability leaders in construction sector. With the coding system, sustainability reports issued by sustainability leaders in construction sector were analyzed with content analysis. Then, social network analysis was employed to identify the key adopted methods and achieved outcomes (KAMAO) from these leaders. The findings provide valuable guidance for international contractors to have a better understanding of the top sustainable methods adopted by sustainability leaders in construction sector and the top outcomes achieved by these leaders.
