White's focus will be on developing an internal sustainability program that will allow VHB to measure, report, and take action across its offices and operations in the areas of greenhouse gas emissions, waste management, consumables procurement, energy and water consumption, DEI, social initiatives, and more.
Prior to joining VHB, White developed and managed corporate sustainability programs, including sustainability benchmarking and reporting, for commercial real estate clients. White is a LEED AP, BD+C, and co-authored several papers for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Building Technologies Office that analyzed the financial performance of energy efficient office buildings and market potential for commercial green leasing practices.
“As VHB strives to be at the forefront of sustainability within the AEC industry, we know we must first demonstrate this leadership at our firm. We’re excited about the contributions that Andrew will make in helping VHB to achieve greater sustainability, measure and report on our progress, and communicate our story,” said Bob Dubinsky, Corporate Resources & Integration Officer.
