INDUSTRY LEADERSHIP

Green Building Expertise

A broad knowledge of our field is critical to how Stego supports the industry and our customers. Yet, many segments of the industry necessitate unique expertise. The green building landscape is complex: project teams must navigate an array of green building certifications and understand how thousands of building products fit in. In 2011, the Stego Green Team was created. Made up of Stego team members across multiple departments and organizational levels, the Stego Green Team helps map Stego’s broad sustainability efforts. Our Green Team is committed to continually un derstanding trends with sustainability in the built environment and the evolution of green building rating systems. This allows Stego to develop a range of tools, re sources, and training opportunities to best serve both our internal teams and exter nal customers.

Tom Marks, employee since 2007, is a driving force and founding member of the Stego Green Team. Serving as the Sustainability Manager, he oversees Stego’s leadership in holistic product and corporate sustainability.
