TRC | 2017 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
LETTER FROM CEO
Everyone at TRC plays a role in fulfilling our Vision of making the Earth a
better place to live. Our ability to respond to a changing world and adapt
within our business requires the collective effort of our 4,000+ colleagues
working together to promote sustainable outcomes for our clients and our
business.
In June 2017 we entered into a partnership with New Mountain Capital
(NMC), an alternative assets management firm. NMC seeks out high quality
growth leaders in selected industry sectors and then works with manage-
ment to build the value of these companies. Given the high standards held
by NMC, this merger validated the strength of our company and the
confidence in our future prospects.
Working with NMC, we are implementing our new 5-year corporate strategy,
focusing on growing our business through targeted acquisitions, as well as
organic additions to our team. Attracting and retaining the best and brightest
minds to bring thought leadership and innovative approaches to the market
is critical to our growth objectives, so we continue to make investments to
better support and engage our current and future employees.
Our 5-year strategy includes a commitment to transformative solutions, in
line with sustainable development challenges. Clean energy, climate action,
sustainable infrastructure and smart cities are the primary sustainability
areas we impact. We started with setting a target last year to grow our
clean energy services annually, and we were successful in achieving a 52%
increase in revenue from energy efficiency, renewables and energy storage
in FY17. We see additional opportunities to integrate the planning, science
and technology needed to strengthen the infrastructure systems supporting
our economy – from the electric grid and communication systems, to energy
pipelines, transportation corridors and water supplies – and we are evaluat-
ing targets to quantify our contributions in these areas.
