Integrating Sustainability

As part of the company’s 2010 vision-setting process, WESTON employees identified a commitment to sustainability and making a difference. Two forces drive our commitment integrating sustainability as part of our environmental and social ethic, and taking advantage of the operational efficiencies sustainability brings.

WESTON’s Sustainability Goals:

  1. Partner with our clients, communities, and stakeholders in pursuit of sustainability.
  2. Create a management system to establish baselines and goals for each profit center, with a scorecard that is reviewed quarterly.
  3. Create sustainable offices and sustainable field operations.
  4. Implement sustainable procurement throughout the company.
  5. Capture and recognize best practices from employees, offices, and operations.
  6. Engage majority of employees in incorporating sustainability practices.
  7. Develop a climate change approach.

To accomplish these goals, we enhanced our management system to further incorporate sustainability at all levels–into our offices, projects, procurement systems, and field operations. A goal-setting and self-assessment scorecard was developed to help measure our success and drive a cultural change toward minimizing our impact on the earth. Our offices use this scorecard to review their progress in making their projects and offices more sustainable, as well as engaging their employees and reaching out to their respective local communities.

  • Sustainable Office Operations
    Sustainability is integrated into office operations, with measured, demonstrable savings in a major resource area.

  • Sustainable Projects
    Sustainability elements have been integrated into the project, with demonstrable savings in a major resource area.

  • Engaging Our Employees
    Employees are involved in helping to implement sustainability, with budget and management support to do so.

  • Community Partnering
    Employees are making a difference through ongoing community partnering, including stakeholders, community, and/or clients.

WESTON’s commitment to sustainability also includes evaluation and improvement of our process for sustainable procurement.
