We understand that sustainability is important to our clients. We want our clients to know that sustainability is important to HDR and how we operate as an organization. That's why in 2002 we began to integrate the concept of sustainability into our long-term strategic plan. Every goal and performance measure in our long-term strategic plan leads to an ultimate goal of being "One Great Sustainable Company."
For more than a decade we have worked on integrating sustainability into the way we do business, from incorporating recycling and employee commute options into local offices to the considerations we weigh when locating offices or selecting materials for their interiors. We recently formalized this program under our "Corporate Sustainability Initiative." Under this initiative, our Corporate Sustainability Manager evaluates every aspect of our business using a triple-bottom-line lens (balancing environmental, social and economic considerations) to identify best practices to share across the company and pinpoint opportunities for further progress toward sustainability.
We have established our initial "environmental footprint" and through our various activities and offices, we are evaluating opportunities to reduce or offset this footprint. We are enhancing training and further integrating sustainability considerations into our internal practices, policies and programs. Integrated sustainable solutions are not just what we offer our clients; it is what we expect from ourselves as we go about business every day.
We will report milestones and progress on our Corporate Sustainability Initiative via updates to this website as well as periodic sustainability reports. We encourage you to periodically return to this web page for updates on our progress.
