PENCIL GREEN POLICY

---

 At Pencil, sustainability isn’t a tagline—it’s a principle woven into every line we draw. As an environmental design firm serving the live event, hospitality, and public facility industries, we understand the long-term impact that design decisions can have on people, places, and the planet.

 We integrate environmental best practices into all phases of our work, including:

• Optimizing layouts to reduce material use and labor
• Promoting  reuse of existing infrastructure and resources
• Designing for efficient waste management and recycling accessibility
• Highlighting sustainable equipment and vendor selections when possible

We work with clients, cities, and venues to:

• Integrate recycling and compost stations into event and facility layouts
• Promote clear signage and bin placement strategies that influence user behavior
• Support zero-waste initiatives through documentation and visual reinforcement

Our internal operations reflect the same values we deliver to our clients:

• Fully digital workflows to reduce printing and shipping waste
• Remote-first collaboration to minimize our travel footprint
• Ongoing software updates to leverage the most efficient digital tools

As members of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), NFPA, and AIA, we stay current with evolving codes, certifications, and environmental innovations—bringing this knowledge directly into our designs.

 We don’t just design layouts—we design responsibly. Whether it’s for a high-impact event or long-term venue planning, we believe great design should support operational excellence and environmental stewardship.
