Our Sustainability Policy

Geosyntec incorporates sustainability principles in our consulting work, recognizing that our greatest impact stems from the projects executed by our scientists, engineers, and technical specialists for our clients.

Sustainable Practices

We are also proactively addressing material environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues in our operations, providing value to our clients, employees, and business stakeholders.

We strive to attract and retain talented employees who share our commitment to sustainability, while monitoring our performance relative to our sustainability and ESG goals.

Sustainable Practices

Our strategy focuses on our people, our planet, and our business in a sustainable fashion. Our approach includes the following practices:

  • We strive to minimize the energy consumption of our own operations on the environment and quantify our greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) inventory.
  • We empower our employees to contribute to the company’s sustainability efforts, engaging a network of office sustainability coordinators.
  • We work with our clients to minimize their impacts on the environment and achieve their sustainability objectives through our technical leadership.
  • We strive to minimize waste generation from our own operations and on our client’s projects, to the extent feasible.
  • We contribute time, talent, and resources to the communities in which we live and work.
  • We provide our employees with opportunities for sustainable personal and professional growth.
  • We comply with regulatory requirements that apply to our clients’ projects and our own operations.
  • We pursue sustainable business operations through healthy financial practices and thoughtful ownership and management transitions.
  • We work with suppliers, clients, and partners who also aspire to make a commitment to sustainability.
  • We invest in providing a healthy and safe working environment so that every employee, contractor, and client goes home safely.
  • We monitor, track, and report performance across key ESG metrics and strive continuous improvement.
  • We enable an inclusive working environment that offers opportunities for technical practice and innovation, mentorship, and employee networking.

These commitments are embodied in the Core Values of our firm, reflected in our hiring and retention practices, underscored by our behavior-based safety program, and integrated into our strategic plan.
