Sustainability and transport construction companies

Abstract

Governments and societies throughout the world are increasingly calling on business to be environmentally and socially responsible and many businesses appear to be responding to this call. This inclusion of environmental and social sustainability in business practices has also resulted in enhanced academic attention – a growing number of expert studies have focussed on economic, environmental and social aspects of corporate sustainability. Construction industry belongs among those sectors that have big impact on society sustainable development. Construction industry has impacts on socio-economic development of nations and on quality of human life. This paper focuses especially on the environmental and social aspects of sustainability in selected construction companies providing services in the sphere of transport structures. Particularly those aspects these companies regard as important considering their branch of business and which they communicate via their websites to interested parties are our subjects of interest. The obtained data are processed using methods of content analysis and comparative analysis.
