About
Sustainability
For Now. For The Future.
We are constantly thinking ahead. Looking further and recognizing that what we do today shapes and impacts tomorrow. We work to build and create lasting tangible value that sets standards and improves lives in the communities where we build and the environment we all share. Working safely, responsibly and collaboratively with all stakeholders is our highest priority because futures – and the future – depend on it.
CARB AND NET-ZERO STRATEGY
Graham has committed to being net-zero across its scope 1 and 2 emissions, and applicable scope 3 categories by 2050. Graham also supports the California Air Resources Board (CARB) requirements as a key business strategy.
Guided by our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitments, we are advancing our sustainability program to strengthen organizational resilience, promote transparency, and enhance accountability across all business units. These efforts will support the integration of climate-related insights into project planning, investment decisions, and risk management processes.
The insights gained through the upcoming TCFD-aligned assessment and Net-Zero Challenge requirements will inform our long-term strategy, capital allocation, and operational practices as we continue to evolve into a more sustainable and climate-resilient business. One that delivers value for our clients, partners, employees, and communities.
