Sustainability Strategies

Build It Better

As one of the world’s leading construction companies, we are steadfast in our mission to eliminate waste, reduce pollution, recycle, repurpose materials, and increase energy efficiency to reduce our carbon footprint.

We are focused on regenerative construction, which aims to improve the built environment and repair natural and human systems by positively interacting with people and nature and leaving communities better than we found them.

Our Goals for the Future

Every Gilbane project requires a specific Sustainability Action Plan to optimize sustainable practices during the design and construction phases. Depending on client goals and project needs, our team is focused on:

• Procuring Sustainable Products: We use materials with the end in mind, limiting environmental impacts and working with suppliers committed to reducing their carbon footprint.
• Protecting Biodiversity: We strive to sustain native habitats and restore sites to their preconstruction services states as soon as possible.
• Preserving Healthy Air Quality: We continuously monitor indoor air quality during construction and before owner occupancy to ensure a healthy environment.
• Reducing Carbon: We prioritize sustainable consumption using recycled materials, low-carbon products, and renewable energy.
• Regenerating with Natural Resources: Our net-zero energy and building systems experts provide guidance to ensure high-performance solutions.
