A Note From the Chief Operating Officer
As New Ecology approaches its 25th year working in sustainable development, we are focused on our purpose: to address global environmental issues within our local communities by bringing the benefits of this approach to the places where people live, work, and gather, and doing so with a concerted focus on equity. We advance this purpose by operating in partnership with communities and by approaching our work with a spirit of inquiry, innovation, and continuous learning. Our mission also drives us to share knowledge we develop in the field by deepening collaboration through trainings, workshops, and other initiatives.
This edition of BuildingWell highlights some of those efforts. From the Mid-Atlantic to New England, New Ecology teams are working on exciting opportunities to both share knowledge and learn from others. We cover a broad range of topics: education focused on opportunities and upgrades; collaboration to align goals and visions for organizations investing in sustainability; workforce training programs illuminating evolving regulations and reporting requirements; certifications for green building standards; and deep skills training to keep New Ecology and our partners up to date on best practices for evolving building decarbonization initiatives. Many of the efforts highlighted here also aim to ensure equitable access and education for those who may not routinely be able to access such trainings.
I welcome you to read on and learn more about these opportunities, and to consider how we might work with you and your communities to expand such offerings in the future.
