Doing our part to serve the communities and environments we work in.
Sully-Miller is committed to making a positive impact for the local communities and environments we operate within. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is something we take seriously and deeply value. Just like how it’s our job to build quality infrastructure that will last for decades, it is also our job to have a positive societal impact that will last as long as the company.
CSR Initiatives
Electric Trucks & Charging Stations
Sully-Miller Contracting Company is committed to placing the environment at the forefront of our mind, starting with how we travel daily: our vehicles.
To reduce our carbon footprint, Sully-Miller has begun implementing the use of Electric Vehicles (EVs) as a cleaner method of transportation. In terms of energy efficiency, electric motors can convert up to 85% of the energy they burn into motion, a staggering contrast to the mere 40% that combustion engines can convert. EVs also produce significantly less carbon and greenhouse gas emissions than gasoline-powered vehicles, even when factoring in the emissions it takes to make their batteries.
In line with these benefits, Sully-Miller has currently leased five Ford Lightnings and installed four EV stations throughout our sites. Though this one step cannot instantly remedy the environmental impacts that our industry creates, we believe that every action matters. To that end, we will continue working towards a greener future for construction, one step – or vehicle – at a time.
Planter Box Campaign
While continuing the effort to promote biodiversity on 100% of our job sites, Sully-Miller Contracting Company understands that a commitment to improving the environment can also start in our very own backyard.
One of the main threats to biodiversity is plastic pollution stemming from damaging waste practices. To decrease the amount of plastic in our environment, Sully-Miller is dedicated to upholding the principles of reducing, reusing, and recycling.
To highlight our commitment to these values, one of Sully-Miller’s most recent environmental initiatives has been a planter box campaign. Made with recycled bamboo fiber, these planter boxes remove the potential for waste by using 100% plastic-free and biodegradable materials. They also provide a perfect home for flowers and plants, thus increasing biodiversity through sustainable materials.
LA Regional Food Bank
Sully-Miller Contracting Company is devoted to making lasting, positive impacts on the areas in which we operate, not only through our construction services, but also through our contributions to the community.
This past May, Sully-Miller employees participated in Sully-Miller’s Day of Caring by volunteering at the LA Regional Food Bank. This was an incredible opportunity to give back to the communities of Los Angeles County, an area that our company consistently works in and with.
In our effort to be a strong community partner and support the LA Regional Food Bank’s mission to “mobilize resources to fight hunger in our community,” Sully-Miller volunteers sorted and boxed a total of 2,464 meal kits for those in need. These kits will be distributed to individuals and families throughout LA County, an effort that Sully-Miller is proud to have participated in.
Bevi Machine
Sustainable business practices come in all shapes and sizes at Sully-Miller. From utilizing recycled materials on job sites to eliminating plastic water bottles in the office, we are dedicated to ensuring that all Sully-Miller spaces are aligned in our efforts to be environmentally responsible.
To that end, Sully-Miller recently installed a Bevi Machine in our Brea Office. By eliminating the need for plastic bottles, this water dispenser decreases plastic waste, reduces our contribution to harmful carbon emissions in bottle production/shipment, and increases our efforts in sustainability.
The annual carbon footprint of bottled water parallels that of about 5 million cars. With the installation of the Bevi Machine, Sully-Miller has taken a crucial step in reducing this number. As of July 2024, we have saved over 14,000 plastic bottles, an environmental impact equivalent to saving the CO2 emissions from driving over 6,655 miles!
