(CHA) has released its 2023 Sustainability Report documenting ambitious goals and significant achievements, including carbon reduction, impactful projects, meaningful community outreach, greener operations, a stronger highly-trained workforce, and high scores on an important industry sustainability ranking. Standing out among the firm's many successes in 2023 is the achievement of its carbon reduction goal ? to reduce its carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent per employee 20% by 2025 (from its 2019 baseline) two years early.

Earning a B from CDP serves as a powerful affirmation that CHA is on the right path and is poised to achieve even greater sustainability milestones in the future.

CHA's green efforts remained centered around the four strategic pillars: Sustainable Services and Clients, Sustainable Workforce, Sustainable Communities, and Sustainable Operations.
"What I am most proud of is that CHA is in a unique position to have a real and tangible impact on creating a more sustainable world through the projects we work on and solutions we deliver for our clients ? in every sector and market of our business," said Jim Stephenson, CEO, CHA Holdings.
