About
Who We Are
SCG is a leading ESG-focused organization dedicated to building sustainable communities through the promotion of environmentally conscious construction practices. In response to global environmental challenges, we prioritize Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations. Our focus on sustainability, resilience and compliance enables us to reduce our environmental footprint while saving money.
We partner with the local municipalities and contractors to achieve lower construction and energy costs with the implementation of technology and efficient operating systems. We also work with Federal and State agency programs that provide grants and tax credits which increase our ROI. SCG is at the forefront of driving the transformation of the construction industry towards a sustainable future that provides higher returns to our investors.
Why We Do What We Do
The emerging importance of sustainable building cannot be ignored. Current global construction is adding the equivalent of Paris every week to infrastructure and our global population is expected to reach 10 billion by 2050. Construction contributes to 40% of landfills, 70% of CO2 emissions, 25% of water use, and 40% of the global energy budget.
Our main goals are resilience (the ability to prepare, plan for, absorb, recover from, and successfully adapt to adverse events) and compliance (building owners, facility managers, and property managers meet criteria to reduce environmental impacts and increase the health and wellbeing of the tenants).
There are many benefits of Green Building. Socially, comfort is maximized, the strain on infrastructure is lessened, and design aesthetics are improved. Environmentally, biodiversity of flora and fauna is preserved, air/water quality is up-kept, waste streams are reduced, and resources are conserved. As a result, overall ecological footprint is significantly reduced. Most importantly, economically, operating costs are lower (less upkeep with more efficient systems), markets are created and expanded, and occupant productivity is increased.
