“We embrace our responsibility to the environment and community by providing construction-related techniques, solutions and team leadership to reduce CO2e and other environmental impacts.”
That’s Walbridge’s Mission Statement for its leading-edge GreenWISE 2.0 program – which is wholly focused on sustainable practices.
As good stewards of sustainability throughout all facets of Walbridge’s enterprise, there are several ways we strive to lead the way in environmentally friendly practices, including:
- Provide team leadership to drive a reduction of CO2e & waste by measuring & reporting
- Minimize any impact the construction operations may have on the environment locally or globally
- Integrate the consideration of environmental concerns & impacts to all decision-making processes & activities
- Reduce environmentally undesirable outputs, greenhouse gas discharges, avoidable pollution & other environmentally negative results from our project team’s activities
- Protect, preserve & conserve the natural environment where possible, minimizing impacts to natural resources
- Ensure the awareness of all team members to understand Walbridge’s environmental, sustainability & business ethics policies by providing appropriate training programs & encouraging creative solutions that reduce emissions
- Encourage the procurement of products & services that have the least amount of impact on the environment & subcontract firms which are committed to the pursuit of environmental protection & reduction of CO2 emissions
Sustainability is important to Walbridge, and that commitment is shown in several ways, including support for Mass Timber Hybrid solutions, battery electric vehicle solutions and our work supporting customers’ green initiatives.
What’s GreenWISE?
Walbridge’s GreenWISE program was initially created at the forefront of sustainability on the construction site. Initially, it was built to identify 18 onsite environmental practices to continue building with sustainability in mind.
In keeping with Walbridge’s history of continuous improvement and environmental stewardship, GreenWISE 1.0 was retired after a successful 4 year run and Greenwise 2.0 was introduced in 2022, with added insights and solutions across 21 areas of Walbridge’s business.
Some of the topics include:
- Temporary Power Generation
- Eco Office Trailer
- Site Logistics
- Battery Powered Tools & Equipment
- Carbon Reducing Technologies
- Fuels for Construction Equipment and Emissions
