Sustainable construction is vital for the embodiment of sustainable development, and corporate social responsibility practice is critical for construction firms to realize sustainable construction. However, the link between sustainable construction and corporate social responsibility is still in its infancy, and previous studies have not developed comprehensive methods for evaluating sustainable construction performance. We first established a conceptual corporate social responsibility framework based on the five aspects of sustainable construction: economic, environmental, social, stakeholders, and health and safety. Then, a set of criteria assessing sustainable construction performance was identified through a literature review and interviews with industry practitioners. A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect primary data and identify the significance of the proposed criteria. Furthermore, partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to statistically validate the conceptual model and identify key factors for sustainable construction. The results revealed that health and safety, and environment are the key aspects, while site inspection and audits, providing a healthy and safe working environment, effective emergency management procedures and safety supervision, compliance with environmental laws and regulations, reducing pollution and waste, and corporate environmental management system are critical to achieving sustainable construction. Our study underlines the link between sustainable construction and corporate social responsibility, improves the evaluation accuracy, and provides new guidelines for practical applications.

使用偏最小二乘结构方程模型为可持续建筑开发企业社会责任框架

可持续建设是可持续发展的体现,企业社会责任实践对建筑企业实现可持续建设至关重要。然而,可持续建筑与企业社会责任之间的联系仍处于起步阶段,之前的研究尚未开发出评估可持续建筑绩效的综合方法。我们首先基于可持续建设的五个方面:经济、环境、社会、利益相关者、健康与安全,建立了概念性的企业社会责任框架。然后,通过文献回顾和与行业从业者的访谈,确定了一套评估可持续建筑性能的标准。进行问卷调查以收集原始数据并确定拟议标准的重要性。此外,偏最小二乘结构方程模型 (PLS-SEM) 用于统计验证概念模型并确定可持续建设的关键因素。结果表明,健康与安全、环境是重点,而现场检查和审核,提供健康安全的工作环境,有效的应急管理程序和安全监督,遵守环境法律法规,减少污染和浪费,以及企业环境管理体系对实现可持续建设至关重要。我们的研究强调了可持续建设与企业社会责任之间的联系,提高了评估的准确性,
