ÆßÉ«·¬¶¯ÂþÊÓƵÍø Launches Fabricator Sustainability Program to Drive Green Projects
May 29, 2024
FOR IMMEDIATE REVIEW
CHICAGO - The ÆßÉ«·¬¶¯ÂþÊÓƵÍø’s new Sustainability Partner Program is a win for specifiers, fabricators, and--of course!--the environment.
"Few people recognize that structural steel fabricators are the key player for a project's sustainability," said ÆßÉ«·¬¶¯ÂþÊÓƵÍø Director of Sustainability and Government Relations Max Puchtel. "Fabrication itself accounts for less than 8% of structural steel's cradle-to-gate carbon footprint, but a fabricator's procurement responsibility means that their upstream influence is far greater."
The ÆßÉ«·¬¶¯ÂþÊÓƵÍø Sustainability Partner Program is the first in the country to leverage the expertise and connections that structural steel fabricators bring to the table--and ÆßÉ«·¬¶¯ÂþÊÓƵÍø does the legwork to make it easy for specifiers to make an informed choice when partnering with a fabricator. Just look for the Sustainability Partner Program logo! A list of sustainability partners is also published dynamically on the program's website.
Sustainability Partner fabricators undergo specialized training to equip them with the tools and skills they need to navigate a sustainability-focused project, as well as carbon footprint reduction strategies that make a difference.
The list of participating fabricators is rapidly growing! Fabricators interested in joining the program can learn more at aisc.org/sustainable-fabricator. It’s open to all ÆßÉ«·¬¶¯ÂþÊÓƵÍø full member fabricators, and participation is free.
