While people have been harvesting the resources of the natural environment since the dawn of humankind, we are just beginning to recognize that "ecosystem services" have a quantifiable value. The growing focus on sustainability is reshaping our understanding of economics, revealing how value flows between natural systems and infrastructure, describing new opportunities for business and redefining how value is measured.
CH2M HILL's work encounters all of these changes. We are helping clients to factor the value of natural resources into business, industrial, and community planning to find exciting solutions that support the environment, the social fabric, and the bottom line. As we work in this dynamic space, we consciously distribute economic value through donations and community investments, as well as through subcontracting arrangements and partnerships that support emerging businesses.
