Our Core Values

What Does Community Mean to You?
Community…the word can mean different things to each of us—a place to create lasting emotional bonds. A place we call home, where we make friends and raise a family. We can become part of different communities at different times. The word “community” has a strange power to it. It conveys a sense of togetherness and positivity.
Crete United is committed to improving the communities we serve by improving the built environment. Our services are instrumental in reducing the emissions that come from the built environment. We give back to our communities by making the places we live, work, and play healthier. It’s our responsibility, and we take it very seriously.
Our mission-critical services help to improve indoor air quality in schools, we lower Greenhouse Gas Emissions by improving the efficiency of HVAC systems, and we install renewable energy systems that reduce the use of energy in buildings across the United States. Placing a higher emphasis on buildings as part of the wellness strategy for our customers.
Winston Churchill once said, “We shape our buildings and afterwards our buildings shape us.” Schools, hospitals, & churches are buildings that shape our communities; they’re part of our lives. At Crete United, we are on a mission to make every building we touch healthier. In
turn, we make communities healthier.
As Crete United continues to grow, our ability to support and improve the communities we serve will only strengthen. Creating new jobs, planting trees, reducing waste & supporting
local charities are key focus areas for every city we touch. Growing Crete United means expanding our reach and expanding our impact.
We take our commitment to improving the communities we serve very seriously. Crete United is an organization focused on making a difference. We are United for Impact.

As the company evolved, it was rebranded to Crete United to better reflect the collective strength, collaboration, and unity of its growing partner network.
