Our Sustainable Growth Plan
“Sustainability is in our DNA and it has been that way from day one. It’s not just a buzz word here; it’s who we are and what we do for a living.”
— Bob Preston, CEO
Grow Sustainably
Although all of the areas that we identified in our materiality assessment are important, Synagro will put a special emphasis on the top three topics as we set goals, make progress, and transparently report results.
After finalizing our materiality matrix, we developed our sustainability framework and strategy, with three key pillars to support our core sustainability themes and purpose, as illustrated below.

Our Sustainability Strategy
Growing sustainably means gaining a deeper understanding of how we can accelerate and grow our business to positively impact the environment and society.
Environmental
Greener World
We deliver environmentally beneficial products, services, and circular innovation.
Social
Passionate People
We value the creativity, diversity and safety of our employees, customers and communities.
