Th answrs wr illuminating, with about on-third rlating to som aspct of sustainability. At Thornton Tomastti, w viw sustainability as th intrconnction of popl, th plant and profit. W striv to rduc th impact of our company s nvironmntal footprint, whil hlping othrs to rduc th nvironmntal impacts of thir buildings. W also work to tak car of mploys and giv back to our communitis. Through ths fforts to do good whr w hav influnc, w sk to build an nduring and profitabl organization. W think w r hading in th right dirction. Th answrs to our survy ar a kind of crystal ball, fortlling an ra in which climat chang will hav an vr-incrasing ffct on how w dsign buildings. W s dsigns mting vr-highr standards of sustainability. Rsilinc to xtrm wathr will b a priority in th dsign of nw construction and in rnovations. Our mploys also forcast trnds toward gratr flxibility for staff and mor focus on work/lif balanc. Advancd tchnologis ar changing and likly improving our working pattrns. An volving dfinition of th workday will also crat opportunitis to bttr srv our communitis through voluntr and pro bono work. Whr ar w now? Th July 2014 issu of Civil + Structural Enginr dtails our sustainability walk. As notd in th articl, w mbrac sustainability as an important foundation of a good businss and just plain common sns. What is our path? Throughout th history of our firm, our nduring valus hav allowd us to continually adapt, grow and thriv. It is clar that sustainability is a priority for our popl and will continu to b a rising concrn in th marktplac. Whn w invst in sustainability, w invst in our futur. This rport highlights opportunitis to collaborat with our dsign partnrs and othrs to mak lasting contributions to th buildings of today and to th world of th futur. Tom Scarangllo, Chairman and CEO W ar growing our sustainability and rsilincy srvics. W ar working toward th goal of carbon-nutral businss oprations. W ar advocating for smart dcisions by govrnmnts to rduc grnhous gas missions. And w ar working to rduc th lif-cycl impact of structural matrials in our projcts. W ar valuating our mploys satisfaction and comfort in th offic so that w can crat a bttr workplac. And w ar providing nw bnfits and opportunitis for mploys to grow. W ar ngaging in important convrsations on topics such as womn in nginring. How do smart companis achiv nduring succss? Th tripl bottom lin approach to sustainability th plant, popl, and profits rsonats with m bcaus it touchs vry dimnsion of how a businss should oprat. It shows how grat companis can achiv nduring succss and lav lasting lgacis for futur gnrations. Most of us spnd a lot of tim thinking about ralizing succss in th short trm. But how oftn do w tak a long-trm viw? I hop w will mak many lasting contributions to building a bttr futur, but to do so, w must adapt to currnt businss ralitis whil bing mindful of th world in which w oprat. I want our firm to b th global drivr of chang and innovation in our industry and I know w can gt thr. I nvision a futur whr young, high-potntial mploys aspir to work at Thornton Tomastti, a grat firm known for our projcts and also for our valus.
