The green movement
didn’t just start for
some – at Plath & Company, it’s been
a part of our collective spirit for more than
two decades. Founded in 1976 out of love for
preserving historic structures, Plath & Company
has been actively recycling and reducing construction
waste since the 1980s.
On Target – On The Site
Plath & Company considers eco-friendly options when building a safe and healthy space for your family such as; sustainable design strategies, solar, geothermal heating, water conservation, low E coatings for windows, reclaimed building products for use in flooring and insulation, construction waste recycling, no or low-VOC paint and finishes. Plath also works towards sustainability by specializing in historic preservation and implementing innovative ways to reduce our carbon footprint.

Plath is also a member of the US Green Building Council and the Bay Area Green Business Program. Every step towards a greener business model is a step in the right direction – and Plath & Company is a real world example of people preserving California’s architectural past while embracing our environmental future of conservation and sustainability.
Good, Green Ideas. Everyday.
Plath’s goal is to not only reduce its environmental footprint, but also to improve the happiness and health of its workers while positively contributing to the community it serves. From a day-to-day office operational standpoint, Plath has taken affordable, simple steps to reduce consumption and waste. These steps include no longer using water bottles and cutting back on disposables in break rooms, standardizing two-sided printing and copying on recycled paper, reducing unwanted mailings and forms, installing reflective film on West windows, purchasing energy efficient lighting and implementing many other environmentally-friendly options. Additionally, Plath improved water conservation by following a Marin County water audit, and plans to implement other energy saving methods as well.
