Hello Green Gurus,
Some of you may have heard that the Sustainable Construction Leaders Group has been developing the Contractor’s Commitment, a set of sustainability guidelines for contractors to implement in their companies.
The Contractor’s Commitment will be going live on November 13th with this half-hour webinar introducing the program.

Introducing the Contractor’s Commitment
November 13th, 2020
3pm - 3:30pm ET (12pm - 12:30pm PT)
Contractors are uniquely positioned to impact the sustainability of building projects. In preconstruction, contractors impact the design of a building by providing feedback to designers and clients. They influence product and material selection through the submittal process. Finally, contractors control how a project gets built, including the equipment that’s used, how construction waste is managed, and the extent of surrounding site and landscape disturbance.
So why aren’t there standardized guidelines for how contractors should go about enhancing sustainability of their projects and tracking progress? The Sustainable Construction Leaders created the Contractor’s Commitment to fill this gap.
This webinar will mark the launch of the Contractor’s Commitment as a pilot program for 2021. We’ll give a brief overview of how the guidelines set a sustainability benchmark specific to the construction industry and provide uniformity in reporting sustainability performance. Attendees will also learn how to use the guidelines and make a formal commitment for their company.
