Sustainability

Sustainability means building for today and tomorrow without depleting future resources. Clyde Companies seeks to balance the economic, social and environmental impacts of construction today with the understanding that such work will have an effect on the future.

We believe the construction and building industry can achieve sustainable development. Enhancing economic prosperity begins by allowing employees, management, stakeholders and the community to experience economic prosperity. Environmental awareness includes a proactive effort of lowering emissions and other environmental impacts related to each company’s ongoing operations. The Clyde Companies emphasis on social responsibility entails providing employees with qualities of life that support healthy work conditions.

Clyde Companies has a commitment to its employees and to the community. That commitment is to protect the environment, facilitate employee health and safety, encourage responsible business practices and cultivate community partnerships.
