ABOUT US
MATERIALITY Materiality: What our People Care About Each year Golder conducts a survey of employees representing a cross section of our workforce and clients from the sectors we serve to check-in on the issues that define their views of sustainable development.
The results of the most recent materiality survey confirm that grassroots support for operating our business in a sustainable manner is unquestionable. The results represented people from all our operating regions and at all career stages, ranging from members of the Executive Committee and Principals and Associates, through to Level 1 graduate recruits. Of those employees surveyed, 88% believe it is quite or extremely important, that Golder operates as an environmentally sustainable and socially responsible organization, minimizing waste, and the use of energy, water and other physical resources. The results also demonstrated areas where Golder can improve, encourage, and promote waste minimization efforts by leveraging best practices from offices performing well in this area. We will work to determine what practical support can be provided to help our people raise the bar in our internal effort to reduce our environmental footprint building on the positive attitude our people have towards this issue.
