ESG Mission Statement
Vertex is committed to building a resilient, sustainable business with long-term growth opportunities for our customers, our
shareholders, our people, and our communities. Constant evolution towards increased efficiency and adaptability drives our
financial, environmental, social, and governance performance.
ESG Core Values
Integrity: Accountability, transparency, and measurement drive our performance. We communicate our objectives and then
move towards those objectives using our adaptability to change the path, not the destination.
Safety: The foundation of every decision and behaviour is safety. This includes ESG as we strive to improve the safety of our
employees, subcontractors, clients, and the public through our commitment to the environment and sustainability.
Execution: We relentlessly focus on execution over the concept. It is not that we have ESG concepts that others do not, instead, we
execute those concepts with an unmatched intensity and commitment to excellence. ESG is used to drive competitiveness in
both cost structure and project outcomes.
Critical & Creative Thinking: Radical open-mindedness creates a corporate culture unable to accept the status quo. We
understand that ESG success will be driven by objectively working through problems, collectively focused on innovative
solutions and services.
Constantly Evolving: Perfection is an unattainable state and ESG for Vertex is not about current state perfection or getting to
an end goal. There is no end game, the destination is the process of constantly evolving and creating positive, long-term
sustainable change.
