Not only are sustainable building practices good for the environment, they’re good for business according to Ben Austin, the Sustainability Lead at J.H. Findorff and Sons, Inc.
Austin outlined some of the reasons why businesses should prioritize sustainability during his presentation before the Rotary Club of Madison.
Saving money on energy costs is one of them, taking advantage of grants and tax credits available to address the climate risk through the Inflation Reduction Act is another. Businesses can also support the health of a building’s occupants by having better air ventilation systems and they can also attract and retain younger workers, who care deeply about the climate change issue, by practicing sustainability.
