Our chapter is comprised of many of the best leaders in the sustainability field and we are always excited to see what new strides they have made in their work. Their ingenuity and tireless commitment to sustainability are what make our chapter such a wonderful community of professionals. One such company is Gilbane Building Company.
Gilbane understands the impact the life-cycle of a building has on the environment, from material acquisition to transportation, construction, use, and eventual disuse. As part of their Gilbane Cares program, they’ve established their Sustainability Council and Green Teams who go beyond the basic issues of going green. Their corporate Sustainability Council is a central clearinghouse for providing project support and the most up-to-date information to our employees and their Green Teams assist their offices worldwide with collecting and disseminating the latest technologies, policies and actions relating to LEED, Green Globes, and other rating systems.
