Sustainable features and initiatives
Sustainable procurement	We source, design, and build with US Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards, whenever feasible, including all interior office furnishings, acoustical installations, infrastructure enhancements, new construction decisions, and purchases. We use cork tile flooring in our cafes and breakrooms and carpeting made from highly recycled content at most locations. Local sourcing and eco-options are strongly encouraged for all purchasing decisions.
Waste reduction	During construction projects, we reuse existing walls, doors, and casework. We have active recycling and food composting programs in our office kitchens and cafes. All breakrooms and kitchens use compostable bowls, cups, and utensils. Small portable electronics, such as cell phones, tablets, handheld power tools, and miniature laptops or computers and battery recycling bins are located throughout our facilities.
Water conservation	Our restrooms utilize hands-free, low-flow, and low-flush plumbing fixtures.
Energy efficiency	We install LED and other energy-efficient lighting in all fixtures and have motion detectors in private offices and public areas. Our appliances are ENERGY STAR®certified.
