OVERVIEW OF COMPANY INITIATIVES PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

Safety

Safety is our number one value. Our employees are trained on a consistent basis to ensure best safe practices are in place and mitigate any potential risks or hazards. Internal protocols are routinely reviewed and updated by our risk and safety departments to ensure the latest trainings and protocols are followed to ensure our employees can get home safely each and every night.

Employee Well-being

Our employees create a rich work environment. Our family culture is what makes us unique and attractive to the next generation of the workforce. This includes a safe, enjoyable, diverse environment that offers opportunity for professional growth within. As competition for talent grows, WTS is committed to offering an attractive workplace to retain and foster talent through our family of companies at all levels. We are proud to be employee owned since 2002, and 100% employee-owned since 2006. Continued training, education and development, and our employees’ well-being are top of mind.

Environmental Sustainability

As part of the family of companies who are in the environmental services industry under Wright Service Corp. (WSC), we strive to protect and preserve all ecosystems. We continue to reduce our footprints and promote carbon positive practices at our offices and in the communities we serve.

Community Engagement

WTS supports activities that benefit our employees and add value to the communities where we live and work. Through monetary and in-kind donations such as labor or education, we’re able to support various causes and organizations that align with our values. We take pride in building and developing relationships with our employees, customers and communities.
