Your customers, as well as the entire construction industry, have a powerful new ally against the decades-old battle against the lowest-price-wins mentality. Sustainable infrastructure and commercial, institutional and residential construction is here to stay and rapidly impacting the industry in many parts of the world.
Sustainable construction is driven by premium technologies, processes and equipment to achieve solutions—solutions that often lead to lower costs while positively impacting the environment through energy efficiency, materials reuse, conservation and new practices.
Barlow Strategic Sales & Marketing recognized this potential in sustainable construction early in its development, and in 2009 we added Sustainability as one of our 7 Services joining Strategic Direction, Sales Development, Channel Management, Marketing, Research and International Expansion, all of which we have offered since 1991.
Sustainabilty Is Transforming Your CustomersToday, sustainability is impacting every aspect of the construction
industry supply chain—from the architects and public works engineers who define the projects to the general and sub contractors, to the virgin
and finished materials producers and even the equipment suppliers who bring these projects to life.
Barlow Strategic Sales & Marketing has invested in people and ongoing education in sustainability, actively participates in the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC)
and other related industry organizations, has a Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED®) Green Associate on staff and frequently
contributes to the education of the construction industry through speeches, industry articles and information sharing.

SUPPLY MULTIPLE LEVELS
SuStainability iS Reinventing youR CuStomeRS
Increasing demand by the government and private sectors for more sustainable projects is pushing companies throughout the construction industry supply chain to re-evaluate how they must supply and approach their customers. They either add value to a project owner’s quest for a specific level of sustainability or detract from it.
Every level of the supply chain must contribute to the goal or risk jeopardizing their customer relationships. It is important to develop and adapt to new levels of transparency, specifications, technologies, products and construction practices driven by sustainable projects. Supporting sustainability can significantly attract new customers and business.
