A Real Estate Executive’s View of Sustainability and the Cleaning Industry

David W. Hewett, leader of the Olive Real Estate Group, reflects on his 40-plus years in the industry

In this ISSA Cleaning Industry Alert, David W. Hewett, leader of the Olive Real Estate Group, reflects on his 40-plus years of experience in property management, sustainability efforts, and the cleaning industry.

Steve Ashkin, founder of The Ashkin Group, sat down with Hewett to discuss the progression of sustainability initiatives over time, as well as the mindset needed to protect Earth’s resources across multiple, prominent industries.

“I really began to focus on not just that we have an energy manager, but that we’re all energy managers and we’re all sustainability people. Because each of the actions we take, even as an individual in our homes, makes a difference,” Hewett said. “We have the responsibility to be leaders so that we can show the rest of the world that this is how it’s done.”
