“Congratulations on this important Anniversary! It is a statement of how an organization’s collective efforts can change and improve the world around us. In some cases, a community can benefit from the technical expertise of an ERM employee. In other cases, a local sustainability plan depends on funding to complete its water or solar project. ERM and its employees, through the ERM Foundation, have provided and continue to provide pro bono work and funding for projects that create economic opportunities, protect the environment, improve the quality of life for people confronting difficult circumstances, and spur and support sustainability initiatives across the globe. As we celebrate this Anniversary, let’s take on the challenge to continue and do more.”
Francine Boone, North America Managing Counsel
“I have been involved with the ERM Foundation since my first year at ERM, 14 years ago, and I have enjoyed every aspect of it. The Foundation has helped me connect with a wider network within ERM and has been instrumental in developing my project management skills through managing Foundation projects in my early years. Later, as the Foundation lead in Africa, I engaged the entire Business Unit, provided Foundation inductions, promoted the benefits of the ERM Foundation internally, and tracked multiple projects, all of which significantly contributed to my growth at ERM. Moreover, the Foundation serves the community and the planet by giving back through our time and effort, supporting various NGOs and non-profit organizations. This involvement has made my journey at ERM incredibly enjoyable. The wonderful feedback we receive from the organizations we support, and their gratitude, truly makes my day every time.”
