ESG has rapidly become a cornerstone of mergers and acquisitions in real estate and infrastructure, reshaping how deals are valued and risks assessed. Beyond financial and legal checks, buyers now scrutinise carbon footprints, climate risks, labour practices, and governance standards as part of pre-acquisition due diligence. This article explores the rise of ESG in M&A, the red flags investors watch for, and how proactive firms are uncovering hidden value through sustainability and social impact strategies.
From plastic-modified asphalt to self-healing concrete, the world’s roads and bridges are entering a new era of innovation.

Concrete is responsible for around 8% of global CO₂ emissions, but a new wave of “carbon-eating” technologies is challenging its reputation as one of the world’s dirtiest materials. From CO₂-injected mixes to limestone calcined clay cement (LC³), innovators are finding ways to lock carbon into concrete or reduce clinker use altogether. This article explores the science behind carbon-sequestering concretes, the promise and limitations of emerging solutions, and what it will take for these materials to move from pilot projects to mainstream construction.
