Sustainability Pillars
Increase energy efficiency, decarbonization of energy, building systems, and company fleet.
Reduce potable water use and stormwater runoff in design and operations with attention paid to impacts from Clayco Enterprise on plant and animal species.
Manage materials entering and leaving Clayco operations and reduce raw material resources in construction while eliminating waste to landfill.
Ensure that Clayco provides productive, healthy spaces for employees while prioritizing local community engagement and economies.
Prepare Clayco for future climate risks, technology challenges, and transparent reporting practices.

What is Embodied Carbon?
embodied carbon
operational carbon
CO2 emissions associated with materials and construction processes throughout the whole lifecycle of a building or infrastructure including the manufacturing of building materials, the transport of those materials, and the construction practices used.
CO2 emissions produced from the ongoing operation of the building, such as energy used for heating, cooling, and lighting.
