Abstract The construction industry has a critical role to play in a achieving the SDGs; construction and demolition activities generate large volumes of waste, and this requires the adoption of practices that will reduce waste generated and maximise re-use. The construction industry as a sector could influence the realisation of the SDGs by formulating policies and regulatory frameworks that drive the adoption of sustainable construction practices. The link between organisational learning and sustainability is receiving an increasing amount of attention in construction management research and practice since the ability of construction organisations to cope with the journey towards a sustainable change requires organisational learning. It is essential that construction organisations engage in organisational learning methods that embraces sustainability and innovation. This Virtual Special Issue (VSI) is on "The Sustainable Development Goals, Organisational Learning and Efficient Resource Management in Construction " (VSI: Construction & SDGs).
