GZA will be recognized as a premier specialty consulting firm providing environmental and geotechnical expertise to varied clientele. We will be noted for the overall technical quality of our work, as well as responsiveness to our clients’ needs and interests. Our reputation will reflect excellence in the practice of consulting, environmental remediation, and specialty construction, and the high professionalism of our staff.

We will focus on identifying and fulfilling our clients’ needs in a high-quality manner. This focus, in turn, will direct both the mix of services GZA provides and the location of our offices. As a diversified company, we will provide a range of inter-related services focused on engineering and the earth sciences, water resources & management, waste minimization and handling, and strategic environmental, health and safety management and regulatory compliance. 

We will seek and assume single source responsibility for both assessment and environmental restoration. Geotechnical engineering will be part of our core practice, not only because it is a key component of the built environment, but also because of its linkage with risk management. Our “pragmatic approach to uncertainty,” in conjunction with our creativity, our delivery of service, and our sensitivity to the needs of our clients, will help set us apart from our competitors.

GZA’s shareholders will be its employees and ownership opportunities will be offered to a significant portion of our staff. GZA’s management will strive to provide for long-term stock appreciation while providing short-term financial benefits derived from stock ownership. We will strive to manage our financial performance in a consistent and thoughtful manner, balancing the interests of the individual shareholder and the Company.

GZA will provide a dynamic and fulfilling work environment. We will accomplish this by being open-minded, pursuing challenging projects, offering opportunities for professional growth based upon achievement, and maintaining hiring practices that encourage diversity. 

Our staff will consider GZA to be a progressive company at the forefront of human resource practice in terms of professional development, performance-based compensation, and opportunity for advancement. GZA’s management succession plan will be based on staff development and, whenever possible, on promotion from within. We will continue to attract highly motivated and technically excellent staff whose individual contributions to the Company will be recognized and rewarded. 

GZA’s employees will affirmatively support GZA’s focus on quality and integrity in both its technical and business practices, which will be embodied in a quality improvement program integrating the quality of our work, the needs of our clients, and the success of the Company.
