Overview

Webcor has a responsibility to our people and the communities in which we work to build and operate in a manner that makes a positive impact on both our local community and the environment. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the process of integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into a company’s operations. At Webcor, we have developed our commitment to align the work we are already doing to improve our impact with effective, influential, and time-bound strategic goals.

Our programmatic structure aligns with an ESG framework when our environmental, social, and governance programs have been built into our corporate policies and everyday operations. To respond to Webcor’s mission and values more clearly, we have renamed ESG: People, Planet, and Performance.

Our CSR strategy is an inclusive approach aimed at assessing our company’s positive actions via quantifiable metrics, within the following three-pronged categories:

People

We are a people company first. We succeed because of our people; the driving force behind the achievements of our projects and the foundation of our company culture. Webcor recognizes the necessity to continue to attract new talent, leverage our strength in diversity, and develop our workforce to ensure long-term success. Webcor’s focused efforts to support our people reside in occupational health and safety, diversity and inclusion, training, healthy workplaces, donations and volunteerism.

Planet

As builders of structures that will stand long after we are gone, we value prioritizing that what we construct today will have positive impact for decades to come. For every initiative and project, Webcor commits to an integrated decision-making approach including climate change and carbon emissions, waste management, transportation and travel, and community impact.

Performance

We believe it is crucial to deliver high-performance projects and processes; we are always pursuing best-in-class solutions to ensure projects are delivered on time and under budget while also optimizing efficiency. Webcor implements rigorous compliance protocols and maintains a premier level of support for projects through all phases of construction. Webcor’s performance efforts focus on compliance regulations and certification, clean energy, project type diversification, public policy, and external reporting.
