• Implement sustainable practices that protect the planet and improve your bottom line
• Advance social equity through inclusive and ethical workplace policies
• Strengthen corporate governance with transparent, values-based leadership

Recognized by LEED v5 for Existing Buildings

CIMS Sustainability is now officially recognized in the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED v5 rating system for Existing Buildings. That means your certification can directly support clients pursuing LEED points—making you a more attractive, strategic partner.
