When we say “Do the Right Thing”, it goes to our pursuit of inspiring social responsibility. We believe that we have a valuable role in promoting the health of our nation by forming innovative partnerships with charities and making our expertise and support widely available - not just through our construction services, but wherever we can help build healthier, happier communities. Reducing our impact on the environment, treating our customers fairly, acting with integrity in everything we do, and making sure RCS is a rewarding and supportive place to work from a business and an ethical point of view.

We work on construction projects that are designed, built, renovated, operated, or reused in an ecological and resource-efficient manner to reduce their overall impact to the environment.

But our contribution to protecting both the environment and climate begins within and outside the walls of this company.

The sustainable management of the environment and use of natural resources is a crucial constituent of Retail Construction. Against this backdrop, we pursued a comprehensive, sustainable energy concept that would place emphasis on energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources.

In 2010, Retail Construction Services, Inc. began working with Kevin Nyenhuis from  Able Energy Co. on a solar project to bring renewable energy to our corporate office.  Solar equipment from Patriot Solar Group was proposed, and, this summer, a 10.0 kW High-Eind Fixed Horizontal PV System was installed along the perimeter of our Giving Garden.

Since September 23rd, 2011, we have been publically monitoring our energy usage vs. our energy generation.  Follow our progress at:  http://egauge1112.egaug.es/kiosk/ or the live feed on our website and this blog.
