Over the past six months, I've been asked to speak at several green industry conferences. It is such an honor for me to be asked to address my peers at some of our industry's premier events!
I have been speaking on the topic of "greening the green industry," something which I have learned a lot about over the past few years. Many of you may know about our sustainable development on Chicago's west side (the Christy Webber headquarters building and our Rancho Verde development were awarded a LEED Platinum rating in 2007). Since the completion of Rancho Verde, we have been greening our operations and have gained a reputation for being a leading green business. We - and the rest of the "green" industry - have a long way to go, but I am happy to share the experiences and challenges we've had with others. It is flattering that people have taken an interest!
