We make it easy to take the environment seriously
Parsons agrees with the increasing concerns about climate change and the need to be a responsible steward of our natural resources. As such, we are committed to integrating sustainable strategies and green practices into our projects and protecting human health and the environment—while optimizing the environmental, economic, and social impacts of our projects. Our overall strategies focus on increasing energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy, minimizing air and greenhouse gas emissions, conserving water and improving water quality, reducing waste generation and promoting beneficial reuse, and minimizing land and ecosystem disturbance while incorporating effective mitigation provisions.
A leader in environmental studies
The environmental studies industry covers a broad array of services focused on expediting our customer’s successful navigation through the various requirements of regulatory compliance. Engineering News-Record consistently ranks Parsons among the top environmental firms. In fact, our multiple, long-term contract renewals reflect our continued excellence in this area; for example, we have worked more than 25 years with the U.S. Air Force on its environmental compliance and planning, 10 years with the National Park Service, and 25 years with private customers such as those in Colorado’s Adam’s Rib Recreation Area.
The environmental studies market has undergone continuous change and innovation during the past 60 years as environmental issues become more complex because of greater public and regulatory interests. As a national leader, we proactively develop innovative software and sampling strategies to improve work efficiencies and decrease costs.
We offer unique advantages to the environmental studies sector:
- The Parsons Environmental and Planning Toolkit, an innovative environmental regulatory compliance and impact assessment software, significantly reduces the cost and time needed to comply with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and permitting requirements. This web-based proprietary software is used by our environmental specialists throughout the corporation.
- The Parsons Project Management Certification Program is an intensive 15-module training curriculum that concludes with a written and oral exam testing for industry best practices, detailed procedures, and hands-on approaches to practical project planning, startup, execution, and closeout.
- Parsons environmental specialists access our web-based corporate databases on federal, state, and local environmental regulations, as well as on policies, procedural requirements, and environmental management systems—anywhere and at any time—which reduces cost and time while meeting customer’s requirements.
Taking care of the planet is a responsibility we all share. At Parsons, it’s part of our job.
