1.0 AIA/CES LU
Join Alison Wilson of Ayers Saint Gross, Peter Doo of Doo Consulting, and Ben Roush of FSi Engineers, the three Baltimore firms that are JUST certified, in this wide-ranging discussion on JUST certification (https://living-future.org/just-overview/). We’ll discuss each of our firms’ reasons for certification, the highlights of the JUST program, what we learned in the process about our business practice, and what we changed from certification. The JUST program is akin to a nutrition label on corporate practice in the areas of diversity, equity, safety, worker benefit, local benefit, and stewardship and is publicly available. You can see our individual JUST labels and the general reporting framework here:
