We’re proud of our work in conservation and sustainability.
By making large institutions and businesses more energy efficient, we’ve been able to significantly reduce consumption of fossil fuels, cut down on greenhouse gas emissions, and decrease waste. These reductions have a positive impact on habitat protection, biodiversity, human health, and natural resource preservation.
Brewer-Garrett pledges to operate at the highest level of environmental stewardship. We work hard to protect the three tiers of sustainability: people, planet, and prosperity.
Consciousness and care for our planet has always been, and will always be, an integral part of Brewer-Garrett’s culture and mission. We strive to involve our associates in the development and implementation of environmental stewardship activities. A few of our initiatives include educational presentations and events, re-designing products or processes, and running a recycling and e-waste program.
For 60 years, Brewer-Garrett has been a leader in facility solutions.
We’ve built a strong business based on quick response, quality work, and total customer satisfaction—and we couldn’t have done it without our dedicated staff and loyal customers. We look back on our history with pride. Click here to view our 60th anniversary video.
