Abstract

The construction industry is characterized by a complex structure of supply chains, which include many participants from the extraction of raw materials to the final implementation of projects. This is especially relevant for the regions of Siberia and the Far East, influencing their socio-economic development. Modern requirements of sustainable development require the integration of ESG principles into the supply management of building materials and services. The relevance of the study is determined by the increasing pressure from regulators, investors and the public on companies in the construction sector in terms of ensuring environmental safety, social responsibility and proper corporate governance in value chains. The aim of the work is to systematize the main ESG risks of the construction industry supply chains and develop approaches to their identification and minimization. The research uses methods of system analysis, expert assessments, and comparative analysis of risk management practices in Russian and foreign construction companies. The classification of ESG risks into three main areas has been carried out, highlighting specific factors characteristic of construction supply chains. The results show that the most important for construction companies are the environmental risks associated with the carbon footprint of materials, the social risks of labor rights violations in subcontractors, and the management risks caused by the lack of transparency of suppliers. The practical significance of the work consists in the formation of methodological recommendations for building an ESG risk monitoring system in the supply chains of construction organizations, which will increase the sustainability of the business and its investment attractiveness.
