CITADEL CARES BEYOND MEASURE
Our Environmental, Health, Safety, & Sustainability expertise is top of the line, but it’s our approach that sets us apart: Mission First. Profit Second. Like any for profit company, reasonable profits are essential, but we see beyond that—we care about what we do. We choose to work on projects that reflect our ethos for ensuring the health and safety of the people we meet and the places we go. We minimize politics and maintain a high degree of morale, productivity, and low turnover, always. We even placed our company’s ownership where it belongs—in the hands of our hardworking team.
Our expert team is our biggest strength—we possess an integrative knowledge base of Architecture, Industrial Hygiene, Safety, Geology, Engineering, Environmental Compliance, Construction, Sustainability and more that together ensure comprehensive strategies and solutions. Citadel EHS consultants deliver expert Environmental, Health, Safety, and Sustainability advice and support on a wide range of EHS issues to a diverse and growing base of private and public clients, both large and small.
Our talented staff has generally seen it all, and pretty much done it all, at a level of quality that is uncommon. We are dedicated to making exceptional service and results possible, and that includes places outside our office locales. Citadel EHS may be headquartered in Southern California, but we can be anywhere that our clients are.
