Highlighted in the report are EA’s 2018 acquisition of wastewater treatment laboratory, EnviTreat; 16% organization-wide reduction in net carbon footprint and commitments to increased offsets; EcoVadis “Gold” rating for the company’s CSR Program; and company-wide commitments to volunteering and environmental philanthropy, including continued partnership with Water For People (www.waterforpeople.org).
“In 2018, we celebrated our decade of commitment to sustainability and CSR. Looking back on 2008 when EA implemented our initial sustainability program and at what we have accomplished since is humbling. It truly demonstrates that EA is a community of employee-owners, who are making a difference for our clients and in the communities in which we live and work. We have much to be proud of,” explained Brian Lesinski, Senior Vice President and Director CSR.
