Going green? |
 |
Companies are embracing sustainability initiatives to reduce their organization’s environmental footprint, enhance their image, gain competitive advantage and lower costs. With buildings representing nearly 40 percent of carbon emissions in the United States, real estate offers a tremendous opportunity to make an impact. As a tenant in an office building, there are three areas to consider as you seek to develop and implement a sustainability strategy that fits your business:
- Finding and leasing space in a green building
- Designing and building out your space with sustainable materials and processes
- Adopting green practices in your workplace
Jones Lang LaSalle has assembled a series of tools to guide you in your leasing decisions and in implementing an effective sustainability program. |
