ENVIRONMENTAL GOALS

Some of ILB’s efforts include installing and maintaining wildlife protection devices, promoting emission reduction and fuel conservation, working with wildlife regulatory agencies, protecting water quality, controlling and preventing the spread of noxious weeds, reducing noise, and implementing programs to develop and enhance public spaces in the communities we serve. ILB has three primary environmental goals.

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

Minimize waste and maximize resources.

SUPPLIER DIVERSITY PROGRAM

We are committed to identifying diverse suppliers to complement our supply chain. Our belief is that with the development of a diverse and wide-ranging work force, ILB will continue to develop the strength and flexibility to thrive in the future infrastructure marketplace.  

Our robust supplier diversity outreach and mentoring program focuses on Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) firms. ILB strives to find new, safe and qualified suppliers with a goal of mentoring them to become assets within our diversity program.  

ILB is always looking for talented, diverse businesses to integrate into its supply chain. We’ve had great success locating firms by using the state DBE directory in our related work areas as well as attending DBE outreach programs and utility pairing events.  

Since 2009 we have grown our diverse suppliers from three to more than 20, and that number continues to increase. 

REDUCING OUR IMPACT THROUGH TECHNOLOGY

At ILB we prosper by staying ahead of customer demands by investing in technology and techniques that reduce emissions and our overall carbon footprint. Those investments include smart office assets, purchasing renewable clean energy, and using the most modern eco-friendly construction equipment and vehicles throughout our operations.  

Because we know having a sound, stable environment is critical to continuing our business, ILB operates in a way that minimizes impacts and promotes conservation while maximizing resource use in meeting our customers’ needs.
