EASTSOUND, Wash. — Green Builder Media released the results of a survey focused on the green-building practices of nearly 200 building professional firms across the U.S. The survey verifies that companies in the building sector are adopting green building practices, although there are some clear opportunities for improvement.
“The depletion of natural resources, increasing frequency of extreme climate events, and rapidly transforming global socio-economic landscape has made sustainable business practices an imperative for companies in all sectors,” said Sara Gutterman, CEO, Green Builder Media. “We were interested in conducting a survey with a diverse group of building industry firms to benchmark our sector’s strengths and weaknesses. We’re happy to see that companies are embracing certain green business practices, like energy efficiency and recycling, but we’re eager to see improvement in other areas like transportation and green accounting, which blends profitability with social and environmental considerations.”
