Property Managers: Partner With Green Companies for Climate Action
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

As the world grapples with the intensifying effects of climate change, the need for businesses, especially green companies, to collaborate has never been more urgent. In cities like Tampa and Asheville, which have recently been struck by Hurricanes Helene and Milton, the devastating impact of climate change is all too apparent. These catastrophic weather events highlight the pressing need for industries, particularly those involved in property management and security services, to align their operations with sustainability goals. By doing so, they can not only mitigate the impact of climate change but also contribute to a low-carbon future.

At the forefront of this movement is the realization that sustainability is not a goal that any single company can achieve in isolation. The challenges posed by climate change are systemic and require concerted action across sectors. USPA Nationwide Security, a Platinum Level Green Company, has been a leading advocate for this collaborative approach. Their business practices, which include the use of electric vehicles, sustainable technologies, and energy-efficient operations, reflect a commitment to environmental responsibility. However, USPA understands that true change comes from working together with like-minded organizations, particularly those in the property management sector, which is responsible for nearly 40% of global CO₂ emissions.

By aligning with green vendors, such as eco-friendly security contractors, property management firms can make significant strides in reducing their carbon footprints. These partnerships enable companies to meet sustainability targets, improve air quality, reduce energy consumption, and appeal to the growing number of eco-conscious tenants and investors. As Hurricanes Helene and Milton have shown, the stakes are high, and the consequences of inaction are dire.

Radiative Forcing and the Climate Crisis

To understand the urgency of aligning green companies, it’s essential to grasp the science behind climate change. Human activities have significantly altered the Earth’s energy balance, primarily through the emission of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄). This imbalance, known as radiative forcing, leads to global warming. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that human-caused radiative forcing has increased by +2.72 watts per square meter since pre-industrial times. This statistic underscores the profound impact that emissions have on the planet’s climate system.

If current emission trends continue unchecked, the IPCC projects that global temperatures could rise by 3°C or more by 2100. Such a rise in temperature would lead to catastrophic consequences, including sea-level rise of over a meter, which would submerge coastal cities and displace millions of people. The devastation caused by Hurricane Helene in 2024, which claimed over 160 lives across six states, including North Carolina, Florida, and Georgia, serves as a stark warning. Towns like Swannanoa and Chimney Rock, North Carolina, were decimated by flooding, leaving behind a trail of destruction and emotional trauma. The human cost of these events is immeasurable, and they highlight the urgency of addressing climate change head-on.

Lessons from Hurricanes Helene and Milton

Hurricane Helene was the second-deadliest hurricane to strike the mainland United States in over 55 years. Its aftermath, particularly in North Carolina and Florida, was a wake-up call for communities and businesses alike. Asheville, in particular, saw catastrophic flooding that swept away entire neighborhoods. In one tragic incident, an Asheville mother lost her son and parents when floodwaters tore apart their home. Such stories are a heartbreaking reminder of the human toll of climate change and the need for businesses to take action.

Similarly, Hurricane Milton, which followed closely on the heels of Helene, ravaged parts of Tampa, Florida, with unprecedented storm surges and flooding. These hurricanes were not isolated incidents. As climate change continues to accelerate, extreme weather events like these will become more frequent and severe. The impact of these disasters is not just environmental but economic, with businesses facing billions of dollars in damages and communities struggling to recover.

The Role of Sustainable Vendors in Property Management

Property management firms, particularly those in areas prone to extreme weather, have a unique responsibility in the fight against climate change. Buildings contribute nearly 40% of global CO₂ emissions, making them a significant factor in global warming. By partnering with green vendors, property managers can implement energy-efficient technologies, green building designs, and sustainable waste management practices. These measures not only reduce carbon footprints but also enhance climate resilience.

USPA Nationwide Security has been at the forefront of promoting these partnerships. By working with property management firms, USPA ensures that their services align with sustainable development goals. Their use of electric vehicles, for example, helps reduce emissions and contributes to cleaner air in the communities they serve. Furthermore, their commitment to green technologies, such as solar-powered security systems, exemplifies how security contractors can play a pivotal role in sustainability.

Scientific Backing for Sustainability Strategies

The actions taken by USPA and other green companies are grounded in scientific research. The persistence of CO₂ in the atmosphere is a key factor driving the urgency of climate action. Even if all emissions were to stop today, 60% of the CO₂ emitted since the industrial revolution would remain in the atmosphere for over 1,000 years, continuing to warm the planet. This sobering fact underscores the need for immediate and sustained action to reduce emissions.

The scientific community has long warned that failure to act on climate change will have irreversible consequences. The IPCC’s climate models show that the choices made today will significantly affect the planet’s future. Reducing emissions now will slow the rise in global temperatures, decrease the frequency of extreme weather events, and ensure a livable planet for future generations.

The Future of Eco-Friendly Partnerships for Climate Action

As more businesses recognize the need to align their operations with sustainability goals, the potential for meaningful change increases. Green partnerships are not just about reducing emissions—they are about creating a sustainable future. By working together, companies can drive innovation in green technologies, enhance energy efficiency, and reduce their overall environmental impact.

The property management sector, in particular, stands to benefit from these partnerships. As tenants and investors increasingly prioritize sustainability, firms that embrace green practices will gain a competitive edge. In a market that is becoming more eco-focused, aligning with green vendors is not just a smart business move—it is essential for long-term growth and environmental responsibility.

The Consequences of Inaction

Hurricanes Helene and Milton are stark reminders of what is at stake. The loss of life, the destruction of homes and businesses, and the emotional trauma experienced by communities are all consequences of a rapidly changing climate. If businesses continue with a “business-as-usual” approach, the frequency and severity of these disasters will only increase.

The cost of inaction is too high. As climate change accelerates, businesses that fail to adapt will face increasing risks, from physical damage to regulatory penalties. In contrast, those that embrace sustainability will be better positioned to thrive in a changing world. They will not only protect their assets and communities but also contribute to the global effort to combat climate change.

A Call to Action for Green Companies

The time for bold action is now. Green companies must unite to combat climate change and create a sustainable future. USPA Nationwide Security is committed to being part of the solution, and we urge other businesses to join us in this fight. By embracing green technologies, forging partnerships with like-minded firms, and prioritizing sustainability in every aspect of their operations, businesses can help mitigate the impact of climate change and ensure a livable planet for future generations.

As the devastation caused by Hurricanes Helene and Milton shows, the consequences of inaction are dire. But by working together, we can build a more resilient, sustainable future. USPA Nationwide Security is here to provide the storm-related fire watch services and disaster recovery support businesses need in the face of these growing climate threats. Let us help safeguard your assets and communities while we work together toward a sustainable, secure future.
