Rich Corbett, head of XL Insurance's Global Environmental Insurance team said: "Leading construction companies take their environmental protection responsibilities very seriously. This award, now in its 10th year, rewards their efforts to manage the environmental risks that threaten the natural environment as well as their employees' or public safety. It is a pleasure to recognize companies, like Silverstein Properties and Christman Companies, for setting an industry standard using exemplary risk management strategies."
Laura Wagner, XL Environmental's Construction Practice Leader, noted: "Companies demonstrate their environmental commitment in many different ways, including actively managing environmental risks at job sites, and utilizing renewable and local construction materials. Each year the selection process gets more difficult as contractors become more aware of their environmental impact and responsibilities."
Green Contractor recipients are recognized for their commitment to environmental stewardship through employee training, environmental risk management efforts, energy and resource conservation, and other risk management practices. The Christman Company and Silverstein Properties' environmental commitment also includes their involvement in green building activities. The Christman Company, for example, recently developed their national headquarters to be the world's first Double-Platinum LEED(C) Certified Building. Likewise, Silverstein Properties' headquarters at 7 World Trade Center is New York City's first LEED certified building.
