“We really want to be the best for the world, not just the best in the world. I want to see the transformation that happens in people when they are moved internally by green buildings and sustainability and see, for perhaps the first time, that there is a better way of living this life. I want people to know we not only have the responsibility – but the power to build a better world for ourselves and for the generations that follow us.”
