The Business Case for Sustainability

Steve Lyons says sustainability comes with as many myths about what it is as what it isn’t.

SAN ANTONIO, TX—With ongoing discussions surrounding climate change, one unarguable fact is that sustainability is becoming a hot topic within all industries. As the city of San Antonio crafts its first-ever climate plan, Skanska USA demonstrates its passion for office location communities and one of the ways it does that is by building sustainably.

“The ‘S’ word, i.e., sustainability, comes with an endless list of opinions, depending on who you talk to, because sustainability truths come with almost as many myths about what it is and what it isn’t,” Steve Lyons, newly promoted vice president of business development at Skanska USA in San Antonio, tells GlobeSt.com. “One thing is certain: it’s better when we listen to each other and work together to create safe, healthy cities for future generations.”
