ABOUT
Sustainability, People, and EDI action teams join forces each year to do a Green Challenge across all of our offices.
As part of our commitment to sustainability, Hord Coplan Macht encourages individuals to challenge themselves in their personal lives, set a goal to improve the environment and our "footprint," and learn how we can make a difference individually and as a firm. This challenge will span from St. Patrick's Day, Friday, March 17th, to Earth Day, Saturday, April 22nd.
Sustainability takes forever, and that's the point.
