Testimonials
We have worked with Great Forest for over 10 years on various sustainability initiatives at our headquarters here in New York. Their experience, expertise and guidance in maintaining our recycling programs have been invaluable as we work to have a more sustainable workplace environment.
- Hank DePerro, Manager, Facilities Management, Ford Foundation
Great Forest helped us win the Rockland County Recycler of the Year award in 2009 with the efficient recycling program they set up for the multiple tenants in our buildings. They work diligently, over the past 18 years, to maintain our recycling programs, training cleaners, educating tenants, tracking recycling statistics and working with haulers.
- Joanne Morano, Director Property Management, Blue Hill Plaza, Pearl River, NY
Great Forest has developed and maintained all of our ongoing sustainability initiatives, including energy efficiency projects, the installation of waterless urinals and our comprehensive recycling program. Using their quantitative metrics system, Great Forest tracks these programs to report our successes and drive improvement. As a result, we have achieved a recycling diversion ratio of 90%, and reduced water use by thousands of gallons a year.
Since we have been working with Great Forest, we have initiated Earth Day events and our tenants have become more engaged in the sustainability process. The staff of Great Forest has been great to work with - they are always responsive and manage to keep the momentum going even when the team at the property is focused on so many other activities.We are proud of our accomplishments and very glad to be working with Great Forest.
