Abstract：

This paper investigates the role of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors in the lifecycle management of sustainable construction projects, using the Bloomberg European Headquarters in London as a case study. As sustainability becomes a critical criterion for evaluating construction performance, ESG integration offers an effective framework to balance environmental efficiency, social responsibility, and corporate governance across project phases. Through the review of academic literature, project documentation, and sustainability assessments, this study identifies how ESG factors influence planning, design, construction, and operation, and how they contribute to the long-term sustainability and competitiveness of projects. Findings reveal that Bloomberg’s building achieved significant energy efficiency through advanced ventilation and lighting systems, reinforced social engagement through community-oriented design, and maintained robust governance by implementing transparent reporting mechanisms. The analysis also highlights key challenges, including high upfront investment and regulatory complexity, and discusses opportunities such as innovation-driven cost savings and brand value enhancement. This study contributes to understanding the managerial implications of ESG in sustainable project delivery and provides recommendations for policymakers and practitioners to promote sustainable building practices in the construction industry.
