Black & Veatch’s commitment to sustainability is embedded in our Mission and permeates the entire enterprise. Our 2020- 2023 Sustainability Strategy guides how we assess our progress toward our social, environmental and governance responsibilities and commitments. The board’s governance and nominations subcommittee provides oversight of sustainability issues. The executive director of sustainability and resilience, a new role created at the end of 2021, is a member of the subcommittee and the executive leadership team. The executive director of sustainability and resilience delegates delivery accountability to the sustainability core team. The sustainability core team drives the delivery of sustainability commitments and acts as a collaboration catalyst across the business, supporting the enhancement and development of solutions that address clients’ evolving needs and the processes and tools used to deliver those solutions. Critical to our success is the active engagement of our employee-owners. lack & Veatch works to understand the economic, environmental and social priorities of our clients and our employee-owners through active engagement and dialogue. In 2020, we conducted our first materiality assessment. Internal and external stakeholders were asked to identify the topics that matter most to them and establish our initial set of priorities.
