One of the most important things we can do to achieve our mission is find Preferred Contractors to work with repeatedly for many years to come.
Making changes to buildings to reduce energy use is critical to achieving our environmental mission, and our mission is central to everything we do at Carbon Lighthouse. We need to find Preferred Contractors committed to safety, excellent communication, reliability, and integrity. We need Preferred Contractors with deep expertise in their fields. We need Preferred Contractors genuinely interested in partnership: in helping us improve as we in turn help you improve, so that together we succeed more than we each could alone.
In building partnerships with our Preferred Contractors, we exhibit our Core Values:
Teamwork
We can accomplish more together, so as a team, we listen actively and seek to learn from one another.
Question Asking
Are things the way they are because they need to be, or because no one else has found a way to improve them?
Integrity
We are honest, consistent and forthright with our clients, our teammates and ourselves.
Getting it done
We are on a mission, and there’s no time to waste, so let’s move quickly based on real-world data.
Life & Safety
We hold the safety of everyone we work with inside and outside the company in the highest regard and make decisions to ensure everyone goes home without injury at the end of the day. Read More.
