Tuesday, November 23, 2010
Lancaster, PA — Greenfield Architects Ltd. and High Construction Company have achieved the Institute for Sustainable Development's highest level of recognition, Green Plus™ certification. The Green Plus program recognizes dedication to triple-bottom-line sustainability by measuring business, environmental, and community practices.
“We are proud to be working with smaller enterprises nationwide that are dedicated to triple-bottom-line sustainability,” said Chris Carmody, Executive Director of the Institute for Sustainable Development. “These organizations are pushing the boundaries of small business sustainability in their respective communities and are realizing positive economic and employee change through their efforts,” Carmody concluded. To date, just 36 organizations have earned Green Plus certification.
“During the last several years, we've formalized, expanded, and championed our approach to sustainability," said Matthew Twomey, President and COO of High Construction and COO of Greenfield Architects. “As our teams at High Construction and Greenfield Architects went through the Green Plus Certification™ process, we found it informative and inspiring,” said Twomey.
“Since the High® companies' inception nearly 80 years ago, our organization has embraced a number of the guiding business principles related to sustainability including fostering a positive work environment for our employees and partners, being responsible stewards of the environment, and investing profits responsibly to secure our future in ways that are also good for our community,” said Twomey.
“As we continue to chart our course towards incorporating more sustainable products, processes and services, we look forward to continuing to help our customers accomplish their own similar goals through the green-related facilities, services, and expertise we provide,” said Twomey.
High Construction has implemented energy-use-reduction efforts and invested in water conservation devices and practices. These efforts have included lighting and occupancy timers, CFLs, low-power modes of electronics, and reduced flow fixtures. Not only is the company making physical changes to their workspace, but they are also promoting employee education of sustainability issues. High Construction regularly disseminates information about a wide variety of sustainability topics and is planning an energy conservation week in January 2011 to further promote behavior changes.

Lancaster, Pa. — An independent panel selected by Central Penn Business Journal (CPBJ) has named The High Companies "Corporate Citizen of the Year" for 2006 as part of the publication's third annual Business of the Year recognition program. The award was accepted on December 4, 2006, by W. Thomas Kennedy III, President and CEO of High Industries, Inc., and Nevin D. Cooley, President and CEO of High Real Estate Group, LLC.
The Corporate Citizen of the Year award honors an organization showing "sustained commitment to its community and employees" and "exemplifying the tenet of doing well by doing good." Eligible nominees for the categories had to be for-profit entities headquartered in Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry, or York County.
CPBJ's recognition program was created "to honor area businesses for their outstanding contributions to Central Pennsylvania's business community" and to recognize "an elite group of businesses and business leaders who have proven themselves to be the shining stars of Central Pennsylvania," according to CPBJ.

High responds to the feedback by creating and tracking formalized programs and policies that incorporate the needs of co-workers.
A strong co-worker communications program, emphasizing two-way communication methods, includes brown bag "lunch and learn" seminars, large and small group meetings with senior and middle management, informative and inspiring newsletters, and creative incentive programs to keep the work culture dynamic, positive, and healthy.
High's organizational development and training department offers co-workers ongoing educational courses related to their field of work, to safety and health, and to other important areas of growth such as management training, leadership skills, communication skills, and goal setting. The company also reimburses co-workers financially, and provides the time, for pursuits such as real estate licensing and college degree programs related to career development.
And finally, a comprehensive wellness program targets important health issues and applies a truly hands-on approach. Activities include Weight Watchers reimbursement and weight-management contests, smoking cessation programs, wellness seminars, walking programs, and various other fun contests and activities that engage employees and help them take control of, and improve, their health and well-being.
