As a large multidisciplinary engineering firm, our role with respect to the environment is magnified, as the nature of our work affects the environmental sustainability not only of our own operations, but also that of our clients.

Our Environmental and Sustainability Priorities

  1. Understand and communicate the metrics, both internally and to our clients, so that informed decisions leading to environmental sustainability can be taken. As an engineering firm, it is critical that we use the right measures in pursuing sustainability. We will determine and communicate the correct indicators, using sound engineering principles and methods.
  2. Advance toward internal operational sustainability, through a process of continuous improvement. We will annually take steps to reduce our footprint. Our path will include consideration of, but not be limited to:

    Energy 

    Waste
    Water and Wastewater Transportation
    Ecology and Nature Social Stewardship
    Human Health Education and Awareness
    Materials Economics

  3. Incorporate and communicate alternative solutions to our clients, enabling them to pursue and achieve sustainability.
  4. Elevate our employees understanding of environmental issues.
  5. Push the boundaries. Be innovative in finding solutions that advance us, our clients and the public toward environmental sustainability.

The company will monitor progress and report annually to the Board of Directors and our employees.

Commitment to Carbon Neutrality
