Corporate Responsibility

Hatch Mott MacDonald, as an organization, firmly believes in a broad interpretation of corporate responsibility, and we manage our business in that way.  Our definition of corporate responsibility includes environmental sustainability, but goes well beyond that to include corporate governance, client service, community support, and maintaining sustainable relationships with all those who are engaged with our firm.  We recognize HMM’s place in the broader setting in which we operate, and aim to be a respected and respectful member of the North American business community.  This means that we work to protect the environment; care for our staff; develop long-lasting, value-added relationships with our clients; give back to the communities in which we work; operate transparently and uphold high standards of safety and ethics; provide quality services; properly manage risk; and conserve resources.  In short, we are an organization with high values, and we are committed to living by them.

Given our firm’s size, we recognize that operations and our projects will have an impact on the natural and social environment, and that our behavior can make a difference.  We are determined to ensure this impact benefits all those who work with and for our organization. 

Hatch Mott MacDonald’s focus on Corporate Responsibility can be viewed in three contexts:

  • Internal  Operations, which refers to the firm’s internal policies related to corporate responsibility (Sustainability, Ethics, Safety), our programs to reduce our carbon footprint and minimize waste and energy use; and those programs that advance a culture of transparency and sustainable operations
  • Project Sustainability, or the implementation of projects which contain sustainable elements (such as LEED certified projects) on behalf of our clients.
  • Corporate Social Responsibility, our program to engage with and support the communities in which we work.
