HDR, founded in 1917, is a leading employee-owned global architecture, consulting and engineering firm headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, United States. It provides architecture, engineering, environmental and construction services across the energy, healthcare, transportation and water sectors. The company operates in major cities worldwide, including London, Los Angeles, New York and Sydney, and has been involved in projects such as the Omaha Central Public Library, the Intermountain Health Lutheran Medical Center in Colorado and the Cloverdale Recreation Centre in British Columbia.
Summary
HDR reports transparently on numerous sustainability topics. The company outlines its sustainability strategy, disclosing practices related to energy efficiency, resilient employment, and scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions. It also reports its approach to active mobility and commuter behaviour, highlighting incentives to promote sustainable transportation. Furthermore, the company maintains emergency response measures, with business continuity plans and systems in place to manage natural disasters.
Regardless, there is potential for HDR to strengthen its performance in several areas. The company can enhance its partnerships with local governments and provide more detailed outcomes of these collaborations. Furthermore, while HDR discloses its initiatives to improve water performance and quality, the company can provide more explicit and comprehensive disclosure of how its water efficiency strategy and water quality targets are implemented across all projects. Additionally, the company can undertake systematic actions to extend the robust accessibility policies it has implemented in its Canadian operations across all its locations globally. HDR should also formalise its commitments to human and labour rights in its corporate policies. Addressing these gaps will enable HDR to improve its sustainability practices and align more closely with industry standards.
