Environmental Stewardship

We aim to positively impact our communities and make them better today and for future generations.

We recognize the development, design and construction of commercial buildings can have an impact on the environment. We respect the environment and strive to be a good steward, protecting natural resources and reducing potential negative impacts of our work.

Environmentally responsible design begins with a passion for and commitment to sustainability. With sustainably accredited professionals in multiple disciplines, we take an integrated, thoughtful approach where green strategies are ingrained throughout the entire decision-making process.

We are highly qualified in the design and construction of sustainable buildings. Our portfolio includes USGBC LEED, National Green Building Standard, Green Globe and Fitwel certified projects.

Best Practices Approach

We follow a best practices approach that ensures sustainability is discussed on all projects. We incorporate sustainable strategies into our building programs by focusing on five areas throughout the development process:

  • sustainable site planning
  • safeguarding water and water efficiency
  • energy efficiency and renewable energy
  • conservation of materials and resources
  • indoor environmental quality

Cross-Functional Approach

Crossing multiple functions, our team of sustainably accredited associates brings vast knowledge of sustainability from architectural design to construction project management.

In addition to our accredited professionals, we have the GREENteam, an associate engagement group focused on stewardship through sustainability and wellness, that includes cross-functional representation and focuses on our work, our associates and our offices.

Our facilities management associates and others also ensure sustainability is practiced within our offices. We have programs that support resource reuse and reduction and energy efficiency.
