DIMENSIONS® CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY REPORT OUR COMMITMENT This year, I’m proud to introduce a broader, comprehensive, and inclusive Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report. The CSR report is a reflection of our “Dewberry at Work” principles, through which we affirm our commitment to supporting our clients and communities, developing sustainable solutions, and promoting diversity of thought and background within our firm and our industry. Dewberry’s accomplishments during 2020 aligned with our 2025 strategic plan, with much progress toward our corporate goals of cultivating leadership and recruiting and retaining exceptional talent. For example, we established a leadership competency model that serves as the foundation for multiple initiatives including a new leadership development program. We also focused on expanding and further codifying our compliance goals and initiatives to promote equity for employees, in terms of awareness, salary, education, recruiting, and professional development. We introduced employee resource groups and will continue to expand this program as a way of giving voice to more employees around shared demographics and interests and serving as an important resource in the endeavor to meet our diversity and inclusion objectives. During a challenging and unexpected year, I’m immensely proud that our employees upheld their commitment to community service and engagement, contributing more than 4,400 hours of their time to volunteer activities. Dewberry’s culture and ethical standards have been a natural fit for the broad-reaching concepts defined as corporate social responsibility. We look forward to more steady progress in 2021.
