Our commitment to Environmental Sustainability
Excalibur & Associates - WA, Inc. strives to do business in the most sustainable way we can. As a small business in the construction sector, we take our impact seriously, with awareness that our line of work is very resource-intensive. Our current carbon footprint is 63 tons/CO2 per year, which is 78% better than other businesses in our sector (coolclimate.berkley.edu). Most of our carbon footprint comes from travel, as we do installations all over the Pacific Northwest and sometimes beyond. We are aware that there are measures we can take to reduce our footprint, and we are currently assessing our options and creating a plan for the future.
