AGC of California’s New Sustainability Task Force Initiative

AGC of California is excited to announce the formation of its Sustainability Task Force. This task force is a crucial step toward identifying the positive role our industry can play in addressing sustainability, and climate change.

The sustainability Task Force will focus on aligning a shared vision and mission, ensuring that all members are working towards common goals. Key discussion points will include defining our advocacy efforts to influence sustainable practices within the industry, brainstorming practical solutions to improve sustainability across all aspects of construction, and developing a comprehensive Sustainability Task Force paper. This foundational document will clearly state the short and long-term goals of the Association as they relate to climate change, sustainability, industry regulations, and the specific needs and challenges of California.

The task force will comprise 15-20 dedicated individuals from member companies who are passionate about making a positive impact and driving our industry toward sustainable solutions. Their expertise and commitment will be crucial as we work together for a more environmentally friendly State.

The launch of the Sustainability Task Force reflects AGC of California’s unwavering commitment to leading the construction industry toward a more sustainable future.

Environmental Policy Efforts

AGC of California works diligently to advocate on behalf of our members and the construction industry with a variety of California environmental agencies. We utilize the relationships we have built and are active in the rule-making process to strengthen the development of our state and shape policy. We regularly attend working groups, workshops, and public hearings to stay informed on incoming regulations that may impact our members and the industry. We provide verbal and written comments during open comment periods to actively shape policy. Additionally, we collaborate with our members through internal working groups to ensure their voices are heard.
