Regulations for the Construction Sector
The construction industry is increasingly regulated through sustainability requirements and supply chain due diligence obligations. The sourcing of raw materials and building materials is a particular focus.
Why Is Construction Especially Affected?
- Supply chains: International procurement of building materials is subject to the LkSG and CSDDD
- Sustainability: Large construction companies must report on environmental impact and CO₂ emissions under the CSRD
- Data protection: Site monitoring, employee data, and subcontractor management require GDPR compliance
- Whistleblowing: The HinSchG requires internal reporting channels from 50 employees
