Corporate Culture

Our Corporate Culture is defined by these eight values:

		Client Service is the reason ELM was established. We develop long term trust-based relationships with our clients and look after their best interests.		Robert A. Leighton, P.E. President
		Innovation is constantly seeking new and better ways of solving our client's problems.
		Integrity is the keystone to all ELM's values. We believe that good business practice and environmental protection lead to profitability.
		Quality performance is doing it right the first time. Quality is fulfilling our contractual obligations in accordance with our company's policies and procedures.
		Responsiveness requires extra effort and commitment. We understand our clients' needs and exceed their expectations.
		Safety will not be compromised. We believe that all accidents, injuries and occupational illnesses can be prevented. If an operation cannot be done safely, we will not do it.
		Technical excellence is to be the best in each of our fields. We use the latest tools and information to assist our clients in managing their environmental program.
		Value Added is providing high value, low dollar services to our clients. We believe that strategic planning combined with proactive business management minimizes our clients' environmental liabilities.

Environmental Liability Management's qualifications presented in the subsequent sections demonstrate how these attributes are a part of our company culture, philosophy and structure. The professionals at ELM are not only trained in science, planning, and engineering, but also to maintain a perspective that moves a project to resolution.
