Our Corporate Green Values
Building a Sustainable Environment Together
Environmental sustainability means conserving the earth's resources for future generations.
Today, the concern for protecting our planet has extended far beyond individual households to our local, national, and global communities. It's impossible to turn on the television or radio without hearing about global warming or our dependence on fossil fuels for energy. Industry giants like Hewlett-Packard, Johnson & Johnson, Ford, Motorola, Coca-Cola, and DuPont™ are leading the charge to greening their business practices in order to minimize their impact on the environment. While protecting the environment may seem to be an enormous responsibility, either for a large corporation or on an individual basis, we can all work together to make a difference.
Deep-rooted in the Briggs organization are values to conduct our business with respect for the environment and to integrate sustainable practices into our business operations. Embraced throughout our culture, several green programs are currently underway at C.H. Briggs. Read more about how we are greening our operations.
Additionally, Briggs applied green building and integrated design in the construction of our Reading office building. Read more about our sustainable design.
What This Means for All of Us
As the green building movement continues to gain momentum across the country, more and more consumers are requesting environmentally responsible products. Architects and designers are specifying more green materials for their commercial building projects in order to meet criteria for the US Green Building Council's LEED® program, the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings. Read more about LEED®.
Understanding the LEED® rating system and certification process, as well as staying current with new developments in green building is challenging. C.H. Briggs will make it easier for you to stay informed by keeping chbriggs.com updated with the latest green trends, news, projects, events, and links to additional resources.
