RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 22, 2024--
Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. (the “Company” or “Bowman”) (NASDAQ: BWMN), a national engineering services firm delivering infrastructure design solutions and project management services to customers who own, develop and maintain the built environment, today announced the completion and publication of its inaugural double materiality assessment. The assessment underscores the company’s commitment to enhancing its sustainability, engagement and governance strategies and practices.
A double materiality assessment engages with stakeholders to determine the environmental, societal, and financial effects that risks and opportunities associated with sustainability and governance present to the company. Bowman’s materiality assessment resulted in the identification of 13 key sustainability areas deemed material by stakeholders, either from an impact perspective, a financial perspective, or both. The results of this report can be found on the Sustainability page of Bowman’s investor relations website.
“This initial assessment is a significant step in our journey as a socially engaged and sustainability conscious company,” said Bruce Labovitz, chief financial officer and designated sustainability officer. “The assessment revealed insightful perspectives and highlighted critical areas where stakeholders believe our operations intersect with sustainability, social engagement, and financial exposures. From here, we will plan targeted strategies and impactful initiatives that address the identified sustainability topics, prioritizing those with high degrees of double materiality. We look forward to leveraging the insights from this report to direct our future efforts most effectively and transparently.”
