Sustainability Industry Insights – Focus: Industrial Products & Construction
Deloitte’s studies highlight the ways industrial manufacturers and construction companies are driving the sustainability transformation, including specific, actionable steps gained from our practice.
We assess novel production technologies such as hydrogen-based direct reduced iron production as well as key levers across the entire value chain, from purchasing and after-sales service to the circular economy. Our focus is not only on environmental impacts, but also on the potential economic benefit of penetrating new markets and developing successful business models.
Another area of our expertise is the analysis of new and evolving regulatory policies at the country or EU level, such as the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, as well as actionable support for companies in this industry.
The studies featured here rely on our extensive experience in the industrial products and construction sector as well as our in-depth knowledge of the evolving ESG regulatory environment and a vast global client ecosystem with players across the entire value chain.
