Ai2 Settles into Its New Home
DJC
We are intentionally invested in our shared Pacific Northwest future. And the social, economic, and environmental resilience of this region. We place a high value on continuous learning, always seeking to improve in everything we do. From employee health and advancement, to innovations in sustainable building practices, to smart technologies and processes that drive greater efficiency. We keep our eyes on the outcomes. And then aim to go beyond.
Safety
A healthy environment depends on each of us taking care of each other, every day. As safety stewards, nothing is more important than doing what’s right for our employees, our clients, and the projects we deliver.
Safety First
On the jobsite, project schedules are carefully planned to assure safety is never compromised. Everyone is encouraged to stop unsafe work and address any issue immediately. We cultivate a team atmosphere that engages all jobsite workers through education, positive reinforcement, and partnership.
Safety extends to social and psychological health as well. We are a zero-tolerance company when it comes to harassment, discrimination, and retaliation. We train our leaders on the importance of an inclusive environment and provide them with the tools and training to achieve it. Healthy employees build healthy communities—which benefits all of us.
Sustainability
We have Pacific Northwest roots and are leaders in the Puget Sound region. It is our home. Because Leading with Integrity is one of our core values, we know that leadership begins with doing what is right for our employees, our communities, and the environment. At GLY we use sustainable building practices on every project, regardless of any certification goals, because it’s our responsibility to preserve our natural eco-systems for future generations.
Our Vision
Our industry is evolving at a rapid rate. We are actively involved in organizations driving change, and we are committed to reducing waste and mitigating impacts on the planet and your budget. Our sustainability efforts include rigorous fuel and electricity tracking; carbon offsetting; and working with our clients and project team partners to enhance a project’s long-term viability. And as a Salmon Safe Contractor, we help keep our beautiful PNW waters clean and healthy.
Sustainability is also fundamental to social equity. Historically, people in poor neighborhoods, indigenous communities, and people of color have felt the greatest effects of climate change and economic disadvantage. We take charge of taking care of the environment, and providing physical and psychological safety, non-discrimination in hiring, and pay parity across all positions.

Sustainable Progress
Carbon Reduction Master Plan
Carbon reduction is essential to achieving meaningful sustainability outcomes in our industry. Every decision to reduce emissions—no matter how small—contributes to collective progress and helps drive broader, systemic change.
For GLY and our clients, carbon reduction is a clear priority. It is formalized through our Carbon Reduction Master Plan, which reflects our responsibility as a General Contractor to lead with purpose, accountability, and measurable action.
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
2025 Action + Impact Report
Our 2025 Action + Impact Report includes DEIB, Safety, and Sustainability as we view them holistically. We firmly believe that when it comes to these vital subjects, we must open-source important concepts not just within our own company but within the community at large.
We look forward to continuing to exchange key ideas with our community, as these topics transcend any one firm or market segment and are critical to the success of our region.
