Social Responsibility
Realizing our clients hold us to a higher standard, L&B is committed to protecting our environment and investing in our communities both locally and globally.
L&B believes that, as a global leader, we must have a positive impact on the communities we serve. L&B is already providing volunteer efforts, charitable contributions and college scholarships around the world.
The global reach of our business demands that L&B conduct its business in a manner that protects the environment and the health and safety of employees worldwide, clients, and the public. This ongoing commitment extends throughout our business planning and operations in establishing and maintaining environmentally responsible practices and reducing our company-wide environmental footprint.
Outreach
Recognizing the importance of non-profit charitable organizations and the services they provide within the community, L&B helps further their work through charitable contributions.
In addition to matching employees’ contributions to non-profits, social service, charitable or environmental organizations, we also encourage our employees to volunteer their time and help build our communities.
Sustainability
L&B’s reputation for promoting sustainable airport solutions and taking the responsible approach is well deserved. Clients and sub-consultants continue to look to L&B, as the company with the most “green” experience within the industry.
Sustainability planning is designed to achieve short and long term measurable benefits that are environmentally and socially responsible, as well as financially sound. Typical objectives include the identification of strategies for both maintaining and exceeding regulatory compliance, while simultaneously improving environmental quality, reducing operating costs, and strengthening relationships with neighboring communities.
