Based on stakeholder theory, CSR issues to stakeholders were developed to address key elements of CSR of construction companies. The indicators are then extracted to reveal the specific content contained in these performance issues. The indicator system provides guidance on the implementation of CSR in the construction industry, allowing construction businesses to evaluate the effectiveness of CSR scientifically, thereby supporting the sustainable development of enterprises.
