Green Buildings: Commitments and Actions

Our "Green Buildings: Local Actions, Global Results" program promotes more resource-efficient models for construction, operation, maintenance and demolition.

Goals and commitments:

• Minimize environmental impact over each facility's life
• Apply engineering and sustainability innovations to building management and construction
• Promote the best alternatives to standard building materials and office interiors that support healthier, more eco-friendly business environments
• Conserve natural resources and reduce energy use

Notable actions we're taking to meet Green Buildings goals are:

• Sharing best practices and developing enabling tools to help colleagues make informed green/lifecycle cost decisions.
• Showcasing excellence through the Green Buildings Awards Program. To encourage environmental sustainability, this worldwide program recognizes colleagues for achievements in energy performance, water conservation, renewable resources, recycling/reuse, waste management and indoor air quality.
• Partnering with Armstrong World Industries, Inc. to reclaim an average 250,000 square feet of ceiling tile per year at our New York headquarters.
