About Us
Who We Are
Together, our Passion, Niche, and Values strengthen the foundation we’ve built and help guide us towards a clear path for why we do what we do, what we do better than anyone else, and who we are at the core. This commitment can be seen not only in the way we deliver service to our customers, or the relationships we build within our industry and partners, but also by the attention we’ve put into fostering a culture of safety and kindness amongst our own team.
Our Passion
Our passion is made up of three words that remind us why we do what we do. It helps lead our health and safety decisions every day, the level of quality we bring to the job, and how we thrive to encourage the same culture of safety within the walls of other businesses.
The question, “Are you willing?“, reminds us how important it is to resist the temptation of taking shortcuts when it comes to safety. It also serves as the basis for beginning a meaningful safety conversation with your staff that is relatable and inspires change.
Our Niche
Our niche reminds us what we do better than anyone else in our field.
Although our specialty is providing environmental, health and safety (EHS) services, ultimately, we are in the business of PEOPLE. Regardless of the circumstances, we work with businesses in need of guidance and support, and we’re proud to have grown into the company we have by always fighting for what’s right with upstanding morals and justice for the people.
Our Values
Our values embody the principles we hold ourselves accountable for. They remind us who we are and the way that you can expect any one of our team members to behave at any point in your journey with us.
Just like our niche promises that we fight for what’s right, our values promise that we also do what’s right in partnership with our honesty, passion, professionalism, and high standards.
