Construction inputs in short supply
Increasing demand and constrained supply of construction inputs has raised questions around industry capacity to deliver a strong pipeline of construction work. The slow untangling of Covid-19 restrictions and supply chain bottlenecks point to significant pressure on key inputs being sustained for some time. In this webinar we will discuss the risks and implications of these capacity constraints on our construction forecasts.
Talking points:
- What is driving the increase in construction costs?
- How long will industry be weighed down by capacity constraints?
- What sectors will be most affected?

Sustainability risk is business risk
Sustainability risk is business risk. Companies are vulnerable to disruption to their business activities from a wide range of sources, this includes climate change, nature loss, and human rights issues. Much of this exposure to risk is ‘hidden’ as it materialises in a company’s supply chain. For example, a company may be exposed to economic disruption many tiers up their supply chains from sustainability-related risks in seemingly unrelated countries and sectors. This disruption can work its way to the company’s operations affecting its ability to conduct business, and reducing its ability to make a profit. Better understanding and managing these risks will enable better risk management, and more resilient businesses. Join us for a 30-minute discussion as we explore the often-hidden sustainability risk to businesses, including what they are and how they can be identified and managed.
