To sum it up in one sentence, we are at our best when confronted by complex problems with compound technical and management challenges, most often requiring an integrated, interdisciplinary approach. In fact, we thrive on these types of projects, big or small, where EA can add value through first understanding the varied project challenges, then systematically peeling back the onion, so to speak, and making progress toward our client goals. I credit our heritage as a scientific consulting firm, dealing with ill-defined problems 46 years ago, to putting EA on the path to this differentiation today. One of EA’s Core Values—Openness—in its broadest sense, stemmed from that scientific beginning and is now deeply engrained within our culture. Our Openness compels us to define problems deeply, analyze objectively, understand all viewpoints well, communicate respectfully, and generate ideas prolifically. From our founding, we have now developed an integration competence across the professional disciplines of engineering, science, and technology, yielding what I believe is a distinct ability to responsively address the complex challenges that face our clients today. In addition, what further separates EA is our capability, indeed our passion, to manage all of this efficiently, with “prudence” and a knack for doing more with less. As a 100% employee-owned public benefit corporation, the future is bright for EA. We are healthy and growing, a testament to the confidence our clients and employees have in us. With environmental sustainability on front stage, combined with an increasingly resource-constrained world, our services—particularly the distinct way those services are delivered—will grow in demand. I look forward to exciting times ahead! Thank you for visiting our website. Sincerely, Ian D. MacFarlane President and Chief Executive Officer EA Engineering, Science, and Technology, Inc., PBC Core Ideology = Core Purpose + Core Values Core Purpose: IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH WE LIVE, ONE PROJECT AT A TIME® Core Values: Openness—We believe in sharing ideas and information, inviting inquiry, encouraging a diversity of opinions, appreciating others’ views and motives, and spirited debate. Prudence—We believe in judicious use of resources and circumspection of risks. Balance—We believe that the combination of flexibility to lead a full personal life and hard work creates the most rewarding environment. Challenge—We believe in seeking out, taking ownership of, and reveling in the domain where collaborative ideas are valued, impediments are surmounted, and complex problems are solved. .st0{fill:#233f60} Our History and Commitment EA was founded in 1973 as Ecological Analysts, Inc., by Dr. Loren Jensen, a professor at Johns Hopkins University. The original staff consisted of fisheries biologists helping electrical utilities achieve compliance with new environmental regulations. Over time, EA diversified, adding more advanced scientific, engineering, and technology capabilities to keep pace with changing client needs, regulatory demands, and public concerns. Today, EA Engineering, Science, and Technology, Inc., PBC provides a broad range of environmental science and engineering solutions to a diverse customer base including the federal and state governments, municipalities, private industry, and non-profit organizations. We have completed more than 100,000 environmental projects and performed more than $1 billion of services worldwide. Engineering News Record consistently ranks EA among America’s Top 200 Environmental Firms, a testament to the business we earn from our clients as a result of the quality, cost-effectiveness, timeliness, and responsiveness of our service. When we were still a one office, single service firm, Dr. Jensen pointed out, “The challenge before us is to make a business out of science, without compromising the principles or inherent ground rules of either.” That is precisely what EA set out to accomplish…and what we continue to do to this very day. EXPLORE OUR HISTORY Corporate Sustainability Through more than four decades as a firm dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of the natural and built environments, EA has developed a keen social awareness and appreciation for the precious and limited resources that our planet has to offer. As a leader in the environmental field, we hold ourselves accountable in our sustainability initiatives and seek out opportunities to support the communities we serve through participation in neighborhood and watershed cleanup projects and various outreach programs to mentor our nation’s youth in such topics as materials recycling, waste minimization, energy savings, and related environmental and sustainability topics. Corporate Sustainable Business Practices Sustainable Initiatives Community Support “One of the greatest ways EA supports its surrounding community is by investing in the future. EA has an incredibly strong commitment to the young engineers of tomorrow and demonstrates this by leading a Day with an Engineer program that allows area high school students to shadow engineering professionals for a day, and by supporting the Easy as Pi program that brings together local 7th graders to a day of science and engineering demonstrations, and by funding the pursuit of engineering degrees through its multiple scholarships.” —Abbie Smith, P.E., Director, State and Local Sector READ MORE Safety and Health – the number one priority on every project! EA’s employees are our most important resource and protecting them is our greatest responsibility. We are committed to providing a safe and healthy work environment for our employees and contractors. Meeting this objective requires the sustained commitment of each employee to create and maintain an injury free, environmentally safe workplace. Strict adherence to EA’s established safety and health policies and practices is essential to reach this objective.
