Message from Our Chairman

Thomas F. Gilbane, Jr.

Chairman & CEO of Gilbane, Inc. and Chairman of Gilbane Building Company

At the heart of Gilbane’s Core Values is Caring which along with our genuine respect for people and the communities we serve, drives our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) efforts. While our commitment to sustainability, social impact and strong governance is embedded in Gilbane Building Company efforts and projects, a coordinated ESG strategy is a new and critically-important initiative. As a private, family-owned company, we believe that we owe it to future generations to expand the positive impact we can make in the world.

ESG

Environmental

Gilbane’s commitment to sustainability is underpinned by our corporate social responsibility and core values. In our offices and on our projects, we are dedicated to eliminating waste, reducing pollution, promoting recycling, utilizing re-purposed materials, and increasing energy efficiency to reduce our carbon footprint. Managing Gilbane in a sustainable way goes beyond the realm of environmental impact; it also means being proactive and responsible for how we operate our offices, jobsites, and projects. We strive to implement safe practices and recognize how the projects we build and develop impact the environment and future generations.

Building a Sustainable Future

We are committed to fostering healthy, safe and sustainable workplaces that support continuous learning. Establishing partnerships in the communities where we do business enables us to share our stewardship message, affect positive environmental change and raise environmental awareness. Through reducing the consumption of raw materials, water, and fuels we aim to minimize impacts on natural resources.

 

At Gilbane, we seek out suppliers who are also committed to reducing their carbon footprint through conservation of resources, practicing waste minimization techniques and maximizing local sourcing.

We commit ourselves to inclusionary practices that support diversity, equity and belonging and promote the safety and wellbeing of those at Gilbane and throughout our industry. At the heart of our ESG strategy is our commitment to social and community impact. We seek to harness our individual and collective resources to make the communities in which we live and work better for our families and neighbors.
