Environmental Policy

 

At Glynn Construction, we have always maintained a commitment to environmental stewardship. Environmentally friendly building principles and concepts result in not only a lesser impact on our surroundings, but also make for healthier living and working spaces. We are dedicated to the following environmental principles:

  • Upgraded to brand new fleet as of 2020 to insure emission reductions. This includes brand new heavy machinery and excavators as well as dump trucks and work trucks.

  • Maintaining a clean, healthy work environment through use of materials with low or zero emissions,

  • Incorporating practices to prevent pollution and minimize waste such as proper separation and recycling of construction debris,

  • Complying with all applicable federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations.

In addition, Glynn Construction has completed several large-scale public projects with Silver and Gold LEED goals. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), an internationally recognized green building certification system developed by the U.S. Green Building Council, provides building owners and operators with a framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions.
