LEED Gold DOC Headquarters Building
During the move to DOC’s new headquarters, training was held for all employees to explain the green features of the building as well as daily actions we can take to make a more sustainable workplace.
Facility Committees and Staff Training
Most facilities have sustainability committees to help them identify and implement environmentally preferred practices. Some also include sustainability training in their annual staff training. The Headquarters Sustainability Committee has started “Lunch and Learn” workshops on a variety of topics including composting and commute trip reduction, and hosted the first DOC Earth Day Event.
