When it comes to sustainably built environments, many projects barely skim the surface with a LEED-focused approach by suppliers and contractors. California-based SCS Global Services, led by Dr. Stanley Rhodes, president and CEO for more than 30 years, has developed a highly integrated approach, providing third-party certification, auditing, testing, standards development and support services geared toward full supply chain sustainability and improving the impact of a project on the community, contributors and the greater environment.
As one of California’s first Benefit Corporations, SCS’ goals and metrics are oriented toward creating a material, positive impact on society and the environment, as reflected in its annual report of environmental and social performance. The company accomplishes its mission by driving the creation of science-based leadership standards, and by certifying the outstanding achievements of innovative companies and organizations.
