Corporate Image and Social Responsibilities
Built Environment Collective (BEC) is a responsible corporate citizen. We strive to remain successful so our wider communities thrive. We conduct business in a manner that is sustainable for our employees as well as the wider society and environment. A key element of our business is our focus on people, community, and place. This is a differentiating factor of our business (in comparison to other engineering consultancies), in that we attempt to design first and foremost for people, and place. Our corporate citizenship endeavors align with this paradigm.
