Access to a clean and plentiful water supply continues to be a growing challenge for many of the communities in which we operate. We demonstrate our legacy of environmental stewardship through responsible water use and collaborate with our stakeholders to deliver solutions for their water management needs. As an essential element for plant health care, our commitment to water stewardship is critical for the continued success of our business. In 2017, we expanded our chemical management processes to include water use, setting a goal to reduce our water consumption per labor hour by 35 percent by 2023 from a 2017 baseline. Using our chemical inventory as a proxy, we calculate our 2022 field water use at 187,933 cubic meters. As a provider of scientifically based horticultural and environmental services, Davey generates a significant amount of wood waste, producing more than one million tons of biomass each year. Biomass accounts for nearly 100 percent of Davey’s total waste. As responsible stewards of our natural environment, we are committed to decreasing our waste footprint. In 2022 we joined the Urban Wood Network to ex-plore higher level uses of the biomass we generate throughout our operations. As one of our core values, safety lies at the heart of all that we do. From our CEO through all levels of our employee-owned company, we continue to promote Human and Organizational Performance Improve- ment. We develop, explore, and integrate safety and health practices to prevent or limit the negative consequences of error across the organization. We are a high trust team, and this trust is the foundation for learning, adapting, and continuous improvement. Our safety strategy focuses on three core elements: Collaboration, Capacity, and Controls. Our people are the key to our success and sustain- ability as a company. We aim to engage and inspire our employees every day, providing them with education and development opportunities to help them grow personally and professionally. Employee ownership has differentiated Davey in our industry and enables us to provide superior tree, landscape, and environmental service to our clients. At Davey we strive to show our employees, clients and the communities in which we operate that we are a leader of “social good” in the green industry.To achieve this, we take purposeful action to make the world around us a better place. In 2022 Davey donated 3% of our profit to organizations and causes our employees and clients care about.Through our Green Leaders program Davey encourages our employees to be active volunteers in their communities and professional organizations. In 2022 Davey employees volunteered over 25,000 hours.
