EPA Connect: February 2024

Over the last six months or so we’ve been talking more and more about being a steward of the environment. But what exactly does this mean in terms of our work?

Broadly speaking, stewardship refers to the careful and responsible management of something entrusted to one’s care. This certainly describes our work in protecting the environment, but it also runs a lot deeper than that. For us, stewardship is at the very heart of what we do. It’s where it all starts. As a steward of the environment, we hold the responsibility for caring for, preserving, and protecting our unique ecosystem for future generations. We do this by focusing on the ultimate outcomes and deeply understanding the perspectives and viewpoints of our stakeholders, while adopting a humble and collaborative approach to how we resolve environmental challenges.
