We actively engage with our managers and our network of over 300 design, construction and renovation suppliers and develop strategic relationships that foster innovative and environmentally responsible business practices.
Through supply chain engagement, we identify and evaluate products and materials that are cost effective, align with brand standards and demonstrate sustainability. We do this by using recycled/repurposed materials, using low VOC paint, sourcing products that are locally manufactured and have third-party certifications (e.g., GREENGUARD, ENERGY STAR®, Carpet & Rug Institute Green Label) and when shipping, doing so via EPA SmartWay.
We regularly meet with our strategic suppliers, project managers and designers to communicate and reinforce our commitment to corporate responsibility and engage them on topics around sustainable materials, sustainability certificates and awards and performance measurement and tracking of renovation projects.
