Our Values
Founder and original CEO James Howland wrote the Little Yellow Book in 1982 to capture many of the values on which the firm was built. These are as valid today as they were back then, and perhaps even more so. CH2M HILL was based on a strong foundation of doing the right thing, by our clients and our employees, and such values thankfully never go out of style.
Among those we hold dearest:
- Honesty, integrity and trust
- Responsive client focus
- People-oriented
- Quest for innovation and continuous improvement
- Collaborative and enjoyable work environment
- Sustainable, long-term growth
- Community commitment
- Challenging work opportunities and a strong work ethic
- Commitment to safety, health, and environmental protection
Inclusiveness
CH2M HILL strives to promote an environment of inclusion, equal opportunity, and appreciation for diversity. We are committed to establishing a diverse workforce and have been working hard to recruit and develop women and under-represented minorities for managerial positions. For example, in 2003, CH2M HILL implemented a policy placing renewed emphasis on increasing the percentage of women and minorities in mid-and senior-level managerial and professional positions. As we continue to grow and increase our global market share, the goal is to improve our performance through diversity and to mirror our diverse client base.
