Prioritizing Carbon, Waste, and Water
SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS
We are challenging the status quo in how we build and support the health of our planet. In 2022, we joined forces with Building Green to deploy the Contractor’s Commitment framework to a minimum of 30% of our projects and at our Minnesota headquarters. Together, we are piloting new ways to track and measure company-wide sustainability in our operations including jobsite wellness, our progress on emissions, waste mitigation, water use reduction and sustainable material use. A first for the industry, this framework provides the road map needed to build with less environmental impact.
