A longtime major employer in Atlanta, Ernst & Young LLP moved to a larger space in the city in 2007. Although the Atlanta office was already participating in several sustainability initiatives, the terms of the new building lease stipulated that Ernst & Young— like all tenants — needed to participate fully in the building’s rigorous recycling program, or face fines and penalties.
At Ernst & Young, we have a practice in Climate Change and Sustainability Services that helps our clients to manage risk, seize opportunities and increase revenue in the low-carbon economy. We understand what it takes to go all-in on an issue like recycling, and we were determined to do it, and to help create a greener Atlanta.
