This season, we've been talking about how the construction industry is becoming more sustainable by reducing carbon emissions, increasing circularity and improving the well-being of people. But when it comes to sustainability, there's one more important component organizations across the industry are turning their attention to: social impact. Social impact shows up differently across organizations, but it shares a foundational focus on equity and philanthropy.

So far in our season about sustainability, we have focused on why and how the construction industry is innovating to help reduce our environmental impact through decarbonization and circularity. But the environment is just one part of the sustainability equation. Another important focus area is people, and more specifically, the health and safety of the people who build our physical worlds and all of us who inhabit them.

Among all the new green solutions and innovative technology supporting the industry in becoming more sustainable lies circularity. In this episode we look at how the industry is adopting a circular model to reduce their environmental impact.
