LEADERSHIP TEAM

We are committed to supporting the targets and aspirations of this Sustainability Action Plan through growth in our leadership team. That growth is occurring in two ways: 1) an expansion to our Sustainability Leadership Team, and 2) growth of sustainability knowledge and accountability among our broader EwingCole leadership team.

Sustainability Leadership Team

To advance and guide our SAP, we are expanding our sustainability leadership team to include each office and multiple disciplines in 2023. This growth comes through the creation of two new positions to support our SAP commitments.

Commitments Chairs:

– Goals for this role include increasing firmwide familiarity with our stated commitments, integrating the goals of each commitment into our projects and activities, collaborating across commitments in support of success and common process, and supporting Commitments Facilitators.

Commitments Chairs have responsibility at a firmwide level and will work in co-chair pairs for the AIA 2030 Commitment and AIA Materials Pledge, and as a Chair and Working Group for the SE 2050 and MEP 2040 Commitments. Each pair or team will include multiple disciplines and/or office locations.

Commitments Facilitators (CFs):

– Goals for this role include increasing reporting and accountability to our stated commitments, integrating reporting into regular project process, and increasing familiarity and support from local office leadership and team members. Commitments Facilitators have responsibility at the office level to coordinate with office and market leaders and provide a direct connection to local project teams for reporting and requirements guidance.

CFs and Chairs participate in the Thrive@EC Commitments Focus Group to share updates, receive feedback, and understand next steps forward.

Additional growth is being planned over the next two years to include dedicated modeling specialists, certifications leaders, and project champions.

Ewingcole Leadership Team

Dedicated sustainability professionals are critical to our success in visioning and executing our sustainability commitments. However, leaders in distinct roles across the firm hold the key to cultural adoption and full project integration. With this in mind, we are entering the first stages of developing specific actions for leaders across the firm to incorporate and adopt sustainability:

– Executive Team and Shareholders

– Market and Regional Leaders

– Project Managers

– Quality Assurance Leaders

These actions will be defined through collaboration with each leadership group and build on the foundation developed in this first SAP to combine education and accountability. They could involve the projects we choose to pursue, fee proposals and scope, contracts, project start and visioning, deliverables by milestone, and raising client awareness.
