Description

Climate Change is my greatest concern, transcending all other issues affecting our industry and the world. As CEO of McElhanney I introduced a policy of purchasing a hybrid vehicle fleet and office waste recycling. While living a modest life, with relatively low personal carbon footprint, I have not so far participated in any major initiatives related to climate change.
