IBACOS recently announced its corporate vision for Homes That Give BackSM. This vision is the backbone of IBACOS’ corporate mission and the foundation on which the activities and focus of the company are structured.
This vision was developed upon the belief that Homes That Give Back improve the quality of life for the people who live in them, for the communities in which they exist, and for society at large and help deliver a strong, efficient economy.
Homes That Give Back are:
- SAFE: Provide safety and peace of mind for the people who live in them
- HEALTHY: Offer improved air quality and water purifying materials and systems
- DURABLE: Deliver updates on maintenance needs and failures before repairs become costly
- COMFORTABLE: Are adaptable and able to meet people’s evolving needs and lifestyles through smart design
- EFFICIENT: Share renewable energy and reusable water with the homes, buildings and communities that surround them—maximizing efficiency
- RESPONSIBLE: Are “contributing members” of society—offering back more than they take or use
- CONNECTED: Respond to the needs of the people who live in them and self-adjusting for greater performance
- AFFORDABLE: Achieve lower maintenance, decreased obsolescence, higher valuations, and low-to-no utility bills
Homes have always been central to our lives, our families, and our economies and are “snapshots” of our culture at various points in history. Homes will always be a fundamental part of our society and economy that encompasses people, business and government, culture, and the environment.
Homes That Give Back is about embracing the reality of change, looking squarely into the future, and transforming our built environment.
