Environmental Management & Environmental Stewardship

Cognizant of our environmental footprint, GDI promotes the concept of environmental stewardship at every opportunity. GDI’s environmental management system (EMS) is governed by registration to ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management Systems), CIMS-GB, and is further supported by adherence to the ECO Warranty program. All the ISO, CIMS-GB and ECO Warranty programs are audited annually by external auditors.
GDI strives to utilize chemicals, consumables and equipment that meet environmental accreditation and environmental performance standards to promote healthy building environments for both clients and staff.  GDI’s footprint across North America services many client spaces that meet LEED and BOMA BEST building certification that rely heavily on the nature of the operations that GDI staff perform onsite.  GDI’s presence in buildings supports these facilities’ focus on recycling, reducing waste and segregating waste which has an enormous impact on categorizing waste streams so that material can be recycled or repurposed and diverted away from landfill.
Our support for environmental initiatives not only helps the environment but translates to less hazardous chemicals for staff to use, as well as healthy buildings for clients.
