GBI's President & CEO, Vicki Worden and VP of National Affairs, Jenna Morgan Hamilton spoke this week at the Flooring Sustainability Summit in Washington, D.C. Using low carbon products and materials is critically important, yet we cannot lose sight of the importance of purpose and people - those occupying our buildings. Third-party, multi-attribute certifications systems like Green Globes evaluate and encourage low carbon materials as a part of the greater goal - to deliver sustainable, healthy, and resilient commercial real estate. We are proud to be featured alongside other leading experts, engaging in productive education and collaboration on sustainable building practices. #FlooringSustainabilitySummit #GBI #SustainableBuilding #GreenDesign #GreenGlobes
