Sustainability
Sustainability has been a core design principle for Kleinfelder since the founding of our company. It is a philosophy that shapes our approach to problem solving, internally and with clients.
Kleinfelder is committed to defining and tracking impactful metrics to gain insight on how to best achieve more sustainable operations. Kleinfelder’s 2030 Sustainability Goals focus on the eight commitments shown below. These commitments are kept at the forefront of our sustainable planning and strategic efforts. They provide direction as Kleinfelder continues to adapt, innovate, and reimagine business operations to achieve a more sustainable future.
We are currently involved in several cutting-edge projects for public and private clients, including NetZero and Sustainability master plans, green remediation, and climate change vulnerability assessments.
Internally, we are working on a corporate sustainability footprint effort to track water consumption, energy use, carbon emissions, and waste generation to identify potential reduction measures, provide a better work environment for employees, and meet the growing needs of our clients.
Whether we’re supporting renewable energy projects, designing green infrastructure, developing new ways to conserve water, remediating environmental contamination, or addressing climate change, our employees’ commitment to sustainability drives innovation and provides added value to our clients and projects.
