For American Office, it means:
- Educating ourselves and our customers
- Encouraging our staff to become LEED Accredited Professionals
- Aligning ourselves with socially responsible manufacturers
- Incorporating sustainable design into their facilities and/or achieving LEED Certification or their space
- Offering refurbishment, recycling, and repurposing solutions to our clients
- Reducing our impact on the environment through operational efficiency
