Protect and enhance the natural environment
From highways to hospitals, construction underpins almost every aspect of our daily lives. But construction can have a devastating impact on the natural environment and our vital ecosystems.
By capturing and understanding our environmental impact across our supply chain, we will further embed a positive reporting culture for environmental incidents and implement the right safeguards to protect our natural environments.
Deliver resource efficiency through our operations
Construction creates an estimated one-third of the world’s waste and extracts nearly 40 billion tons of raw materials from the planet each year.
Through the implementation of design-driven circular economy principles, we are taking actions to go beyond managing the waste we produce to achieve zero avoidable waste.
Some of the ways we are actively reducing our carbon footprint include:
- Increase usage of sustainable products and materials
- Provide clients sustainable material options and alternatives
- Divert 70% of all jobsite-generated waste to recycled facilities
- Increase prefabrication opportunities
Empower sustainable suppliers and champion ethical practices
Our supply chain partners are crucial to delivering work sustainably.
To empower sustainable suppliers and champion ethical practices, we are ensuring the way we buy is inclusive and are forming collaborative relationships with our supply chain partners to reduce carbon emissions, responsibly source materials and protect human rights.
Deliver long-lasting social benefits for the communities we operate in
Our impact goes beyond the projects we are privileged to build and into the heart of the communities where our teammates live, work and play. From spearheading service projects with local charities to creating mentorship programs for Minority,
Women, and Small Business Enterprises (MWSBEs) and more, our community roots run deep.
Some of the ways we are building new futures for our local communities include:
- National and local charitable contributions and involvement
- Grass roots employee volunteerism efforts
- Strengthen 'earn and learn' positions
- Continue to be a great place to work and generate local employment opportunities
- Local outreach opportunities that improve our industry partnering with local organizations and clients
- Focus on mental wellbeing and physical wellbeing of our employees

Some of the ways we are cultivating employee diversity, equity and inclusion include:
