Building the Human Case: Why Real Working Conditions Are Construction's Next Data Challenge

September 11, 2026

Your human rights due diligence looks good on paper. But do you know what's really happening on site?
Join Senior Sales Engineer, Agnes Pondaveven and Sales Manager, Stephanie Herre with Ecovadis, uncover the ways to gain efficacy on site.
In construction, the labour question has moved from whether you have a policy to whether you can see what's actually happening across your subcontractors and their workers. Join EcoVadis for a session on turning worker insight into something you can act on, before regulators, clients, and your own standards ask you to prove it.
Construction runs on layered subcontracting, temporary labour, and a workforce that traditional audits rarely reach. Most of the real risk sits below the tier you can see, and a policy signed at the top says little about conditions on the ground. That gap is exactly what's now being questioned, as the market shifts from stated commitments to demonstrated visibility.
In this session, you'll get a clear view on:

  • Why a signed code of conduct describes intent, but hearing directly from workers is what reveals reality
  • Where the real blind spots hide, not your direct crews, but the subcontractors and agency workers holding most of the labour risk
  • What tightening human rights due diligence regulation means for your reporting ahead
  • How to reach workers through channels they already use, across language, literacy, and location
  • Where anonymous, real-time worker feedback fits alongside your existing audits and assessments
