Our company's effects on the environment, people, and the economy result from two distinctly separate spheres of activity: the conduct of our internal operations (facilities, procurement, and other functions) and the delivery of client projects. In both arenas, and as a signatory to the U.N. Global Compact, our executive leadership is fully committed to ensuring that our business policies incorporate and support sustainability goals for environment, people, and economy.
As a leader in the industry and one of the first engineering and construction companies to publish a sustainability report in 2005, CH2M HILL continues a tradition of excellence and transparency in reporting on internal operations related to sustainability.
This summary index contains a list of Global Reporting Initiative indicators and additional, industry-specific indicators that we measure (labeled "CH2M HILL"). While some of our metrics extend back to 2003, others are new this year. Our Web site lists performance for the past 4 years, where available, and is updated annually. Following are CH2M HILL Sustainability Reports available for download:
