Adolfson & Peterson Construction rules not with iron, but green fists.  The company’s green fists of fury, or Hulk hands, signify the company’s commitment to green practices.  Adolfson & Peterson encourages and pays for employees to become Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) certified.  Once LEED certified, employees receive their own green fist to display with pride in their office.

The company also integrated a hybrid fleet of cars, recycling and carpooling or telecommuting programs into its daily operations.  Adolfson & Peterson established satellite offices in Buckeye and Tucson, Ariz., to cut down on employee commuting.  The company’s hybrid fleet of cars even boasts a Smart Car for employee use.  Through its recycling program, Adolfson & Peterson recycled more than 1,000 tons of construction waste in Arizona in 2009.

Adolfson & Peterson strives to reduce its own carbon footprint and the footprint of its clients.  The company built the first LEED Silver Certified high school in Arizona, currently has more than 30 LEED-certified or pending projects and has helped ArizonaStateUniversity and CarlHaydenHigh School start green programs.
