Building value through sustainability

At Boldt, we’ve woven sustainability into our culture. It’s a natural result of our approach. BoldThinking® requires us to look at the big picture on every project. It pushes us to consider the full impact of a building—on its surroundings, occupants and the environment as a whole. It inspires the innovations that help us bring greater value to our customers and the communities we help to build.

Leading the charge in green building

Environmental responsibility has been part of our approach since before it was the norm. Now that it is, we have a long track record of sustainable success. Our team includes LEED® accredited professionals with a deep understanding of the planning, processes and benefits of sustainable building.

“Boldt fully impressed us with a clear institutional commitment to sustainability — from the CEO to our site superintendent. Their knowledge was invaluable in shepherding the Center through the LEED® certification process and facilitating communication with the USGBC. From everything I’ve witnessed, Boldt is clearly the preeminent green building contractor.”

The benefits of building sustainably

Green building is more than an environmentally responsible thing to do. It’s also a cost-effective choice with significant long-term benefits:

  • Reduced energy consumption
  • Savings in operation and maintenance costs
  • Potential tax savings and incentives
  • Lower emissions
  • A healthier environment for building occupants


Leading by example

You can’t build sustainably without being sustainable. That’s why we’ve made a commitment to leading the way in environmental innovation and stewardship. Our sustainability efforts focus on:

  • Continuous improvement in responsible construction practices and waste management
  • Consistent sustainability education for ourselves, our subcontractors and building owners
  • LEED certification for our own facilities—currently, two regional offices are LEED Silver Certified and our corporate headquarters is also LEED Silver Certified
  • Community leadership in sustainable practices and environmental stewardship 
We also proudly support the following environmental initiatives:
  • Earth Day
  • America Recycles Day
  • Aldo Leopold Foundation
