Consulting, Inc. (CHA) has released its 2023 Sustainability
Report documenting ambitious goals and significant achievements,
including carbon reduction, impactful projects, meaningful
community outreach, greener operations, a stronger highly-trained
workforce, and high scores on an important industry sustainability
ranking. Standing out among the firm's many successes in 2023 is
the achievement of its carbon reduction goal – to reduce its carbon

During 2023, the firm also scored high marks on the CDP Climate
Change Score Report, an important industry sustainability indicator

Management level and providing evidence of its advanced
environmental stewardship and actions across all sectors. Earning a
B from CDP serves as a powerful affirmation that CHA is on the
right path and is poised to achieve even greater sustainability
milestones in the future.
CHA's 2023 Sustainability Report brings to the forefront smart
solutions for a greener future, including innovative, sustainable
practices and technologies implemented on projects, efforts to
create an inclusive and diverse workforce, hundreds of volunteer
hours dedicated to uplifting our local communities, and thoughtful
strategies aimed at further reducing the firm's carbon
footprint.
CHA's green efforts remained centered around the four strategic
pillars: Sustainable Services and Clients, Sustainable Workforce,
Sustainable Communities, and Sustainable Operations.
"What I am most proud of is that CHA is in a unique position to
have a real and tangible impact on creating a more sustainable
world through the projects we work on and solutions we deliver for
our clients – in every sector and market of our business," said
Jim Stephenson, CEO, CHA Holdings.
"The successes highlighted in this report motivate us to continue
this exciting and impactful progress."
The projects in our 2023 report cross all sectors and CHA's
growing geographic footprint, illustrating how the firm is creating
dynamic and comprehensive solutions for a more sustainable world.
These projects address power resiliency, renewable energy sources,
clean water, highly efficient facilities, urban livability,
sustainable infrastructure, waterfront revitalization, brownfield
redevelopment, electric fleets, efficient manufacturing, and
greenway transformation.
The report also shines a spotlight on CHA's people, who are
committed to utilizing their expertise and dedicating time to
sustainability efforts, and who continue to be advocates for
improving our world. With a commitment to education, the
environment and health and wellness, the CHA team is leaning into
