GUIDING PRINCIPLES

EnviroScience has adopted the following core values which we call our Guiding Principles. It is expected that every employee from the entry level technician and office assistant to the president conduct themselves under these principles.

1. Passionate Customer Focus

EnviroScience’s focus on its client’s needs is the catalyst for future growth. Passion is a true differentiator among professional services firms. Our clients must know us, like us and trust us in order for them to sole source our services. Passionate client services are the responsibility of every employee, from the CEO to our entry-level colleagues.

2. Urgent Obsession with Quality
Satisfy EnviroScience’s client’s needs 100% of the time. Strive for “A” work with no mistakes. Eliminate costly re-work. Demand quality work products from all colleagues. We will raise the industry bar for quality, always striving for continuous improvement.

3. Participation at All Levels
Decision-making is the collaborative product of honest communication between our employees and our executive staff members. EnviroScience relies on the technical knowledge and management capabilities of its members as key to its success. Employee empowerment brings opportunity and responsibility to every member of the firm. Each employee shall strive to understand our Guiding Principles and incorporate them into their daily activity.

4. Teamwork
EnviroScience members believe that good, honest, real time communication is key to teamwork. Meeting of one’s responsibilities, accountability for one’s actions and the fulfillment of one’s commitments as part of the team are ongoing expectations at EnviroScience. Speak up respectfully if anything or anyone breaches our commitment to teamwork.

5. Organizational Ethics and Integrity
Our members must believe in EnviroScience. Integrity in one’s work and commitment to the firm and its members are fundamental to employment. If a member is not satisfied with working conditions, speak up, share data and constructively deal with the issue. This commitment is at the very foundation of the employer/employee relationship.

6. Teaching and Learning
Learning is a journey, not a destination. This continuous process is a two way street. The teacher has the responsibility to provide good instruction and to be available for follow-up. The student has the obligation to understand, retain and consistently practice lessons learned.

7. Ownership Mentality
Although company owners often work hard and put forth great effort, their primary measurement is the result they achieve. Members of EnviroScience who feel like owners, think like owners, act like owners and care like owners, will be treated as owners. That is the firm’s commitment to its employees.

8. Quality and Profitability
EnviroScience members believe that both the firm and its clients are entitled to a fair exchange of value. Our members will not seek to be paid more than the value of our service or agree to less payment for the value provided by the firm.

9. Progressive Management Team
The EnviroScience team continuously strives to teach and follow the company’s Guiding Principles. Management is vested in the development and actions of their direct reports. As such, they are measured on the performance, career development, and production of their direct reports.

10. Aptitude, Attitude and Intellectual Laziness
If an employee fails to perform as expected, we will assume the cause of non-performance is one of the above. If the cause is aptitude, we will provide further training. If the cause is intellectual laziness, we will provide notice of the need for improvement. If the consistent cause of poor performance is attitude, we will take action to remove the employee from the company.
