TRC | 2017 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE TRC
We began as an innovator in the field of meteorology and air quality as part of the Travelers Weather Research
Center, an affiliate of the Travelers Insurance Company. Now, more than over 50 years later we have expanded both
our services and our geography, but are still committed to that entrepreneurial spirit and creativity as we tackle
sustainable development challenges and create value for our stakeholders.
OUR STRATEGY BUILDS ON TRC’S INNOVATIVE HISTORY WITH A FOCUS ON
DEVELOPING NEW APPROACHES, TECHNOLOGY-ENABLED SOLUTIONS AND
STRATEGIC SERVICES TO MORE EFFICIENTLY SOLVE OUR CLIENTS’ CHALLENGES
We are a valued partner to our clients, with a focus in the power, oil and gas, and infrastructure markets. Changes
in these markets are being driven by a number of factors, including energy policy shifts, a changing climate, cyber
and physical security events, aging infrastructure and stakeholder demands. As a society we are also experiencing
major advances in technology, resulting in smart cities, smart cars, and smart people – bringing about shifts in
entire market sectors and new ways of thinking and interacting with each other and our environment. We recognize
the value of an agile organization where collaboration across service lines and skill sets brings the necessary
technology and solutions to tackle these sustainable development challenges.
In 2017 the American Public Transit Agency recognized TRC at the Gold level for its

TRC is a valued partner in Duke Energy’s project “Power/Forward Carolinas,” intended
to safeguard the electric system against storms and outages, make it more resilient

economic growth. A key part of the project is addressing the reliability and resiliency
of the underground electric distribution grid for the city of Charlotte, NC. TRC is
providing Duke with critical distribution engineering resources needed for the success
of this project, embracing a forward-thinking approach to building a smarter energy
future for North Carolina.
