Our culture is about aspiration—not end points. Embracing change and challenges. Listening to each other, and learning from each other. Encouraging continual learning, and inspiring collective growth. As an inclusive, integrated practice, we value the diversity of perspectives, experiences, abilities and expertise that advance both the work we do, and the world we share.
HED has a culture that encourages you to take initiative, explore, and reach your potential. HED has provided me with a platform to share my interest in designing for well-being and material sustainability, and with the support of an HED research and development grant I am testing our ideas to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the built environment."
We seek to achieve our goals through a firm culture that fosters social justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion. To this end we are proud to be an IFLI (International Living Future Institute) JUST organization, a National Best and Brightest Companies to Work For and a signatory member of AIA 2030. We display our pledge to these principles of equity and sustainability proudly – publicly committing to practices that exemplify social justice and corporate social responsibility while using these measurements to drive improvement.
