The Walsh Group (Walsh), founded in 1898, is a prominent family-owned construction and engineering firm headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, United States. It provides services for construction management, design-build, general contracting and public-private partnerships across transportation, water, building and industrial projects. The company operates in major cities across the US, including Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles and New York, and has been involved in significant projects such as the Ohio River Bridges Project, the LaGuardia Airport Redevelopment in New York and the Chicago Riverwalk.
Summary
Walsh performs poorly in the 2024 Urban Benchmark with significant potential to enhance its reporting on numerous sustainability topics. The company reports on its accessibility policy for Canada, which outlines standards and actions to improve opportunities for individuals with disabilities. The company should implement similar policies across all locations.
While the company commits to non-discrimination in the workplace, it is recommended to extend these commitments to include non-discrimination against customers. Walsh should also formalise its commitments to human and labour rights in its corporate policies.
Walsh has limited reporting on scope 1 and 2 emissions and lacks time-bound targets for reducing these. It is also unclear whether the company provides evidence of regular noise pollution monitoring or reports air quality metrics. Additionally, Walsh lacks transparency regarding how it determines living wages in the regions where it operates. Moreover, its assessments of natural disaster risks are limited. Addressing these gaps will enable Walsh to strengthen its sustainability efforts, align with international labour and industry standards and improve transparency.
