Sustainability Committee

At GEI, sustainability means conducting our business in a way that is environmentally responsible, operationally efficient, and economically sound while safeguarding human health and the environment.

Our commitment to sustainability is also increasingly important to our clients. They are advancing their own sustainability goals and seeking partners that can support progress and strengthen supply chains.

GEI’s Sustainability Committee

Established in 2010, GEI’s Sustainability Committee provides the framework and leadership to advance sustainable business practices throughout the company. By prioritizing the environment, the company, employees, and clients reap the benefits.

Comprised of 16 members—including GEI’s CEO—the committee works to enhance our workplace and natural environment, reduce our carbon footprint, and strengthen our communities through thoughtful and responsible corporate initiatives.

Key responsibilities of the committee include setting annual GHG reduction goals, monitoring sustainable practices across the company, and publishing an annual report detailing GEI’s internal efforts and progress.

GEI’s Sustainability Plan

The Sustainability Plan brings environmental action to the corporate level, aligning our operations with long-term environmental and business goals. The Plan centers on the critical global megatrend of climate change which poses both risks to our operations and financial performance, as well as opportunities for innovation and growth.

To address the challenge, the Plan prioritizes three key areas for GEI:

1. Reducing GHG emissions
2. Minimizing operational waste
3. Improving energy efficiency

The Sustainability Committee is currently drafting and finalizing goals and targets.
