Corporate Sustainability

Legence radically improves the performance of the built environment, making the spaces we occupy healthier and more sustainable. To support the wellness of our employees, partners, and professional communities, we commit to:

Maintaining a ‘safety first’ culture, promoting the health and wellness of our team and an incident free workplace. And promoting occupant health at our facilities through improved indoor air quality, access to daylight and natural ventilation, health and wellness amenities, and healthy building materials and furnishings.

Legence is upskilling our workforce for both technical and vocational positions to promote a well-rounded employee base and to grow our people’s skills for future career development and success. Through our business we also design and build certified green building education facilities to foster healthy, safe, and inclusive learning environments that benefit the communities in which we work.

Legence maintains a diverse and experienced Board of Directors and executive team. We also conduct hiring practices that promote diverse hiring pools and will continue to be an equal-opportunity employer. Our training and development is focused on upskilling our workforce and promoting diversity throughout our industry.

Legence helps our clients innovate and expand their energy infrastructure to enable the adoption of alternative, renewable, and decentralized energy innovations. To date, Legence has helped design and implement more than 140 MW of renewable energy generation.

Legence’s supply chain drives economic growth for minority-owned businesses, and we have a successful history acquiring and growing privately held and founder-owned businesses. We are growing our diverse employee base every year and are constantly evolving our practices to use industry-leading tools and procedures that promote safety, efficiency, and innovation in our sector.

Our community engagement and technical expertise have generated over $21 billion in energy efficiency and renewable energy projects to date. Legence is a choice building science and engineering solutions provider. We pair sector expertise with creative ingenuity to lead and deliver design-build projects that meet efficiency goals and protect the well-being of occupants.

Legence provides career opportunities that are rewarding, respectful and embracing of diverse backgrounds and perspectives. We track, maintain, and report on diversity data. And we remain committed to increase hiring from veteran populations and other historically underrepresented groups.

We have a duty of care for our partners and communities. We’re active corporate citizens, working in an equitable and environmentally friendly manner. As a national leader we play an active role in design and construction of the municipal, university, school, and hospital (MUSH) market, and in that role, we emphasize health and sustainability. Our approach improves operational and energy efficiency and creates high performance buildings while significantly reducing the amount of deferred maintenance. Through our efforts we have helped communities implement their carbon reduction roadmaps through performance contracting, zero energy and zero carbon buildings.

Legence is an Energy Transition Accelerator™. Our team radically improves the performance of the built environment by maximizing efficiency consumption. We have adopted climate conscious goals, policies, and processes and embedded them across our organization.

Legence is a team of experienced solutions providers, working as one to push our clients further and build a future defined—and redefined—by efficiency.

Our success is our clients’ success and is always the result of skill, dedication, and collaboration. To achieve our goals, we rely on every stakeholder. We engage our peers and partners to move the industry forward through advocacy and collaboration.
