For Our People

Our sustainability program goals for our employees include hiring and retaining people who have expertise in and
passion for sustainability, incorporating sustainability into our professional development programs, and encouraging
individualism in creating innovative and sustainable solutions. We have sustainability advocates at every level to put our
plan into action. As you will see in this section, it's important to the firm that our people continue to educate themselves and
others on our industry and sustainable practices.

Materiality Assessment
We report our annual metrics by assessing real, material
issues as identified by a wide range of internal and
external input, including employee surveys, subject
matter expert feedback, client input, community
outreach, and market research. This allows a broad
and informed understanding of sustainability and
contributes to the prioritization of our actions and work.
We defined "material" issues as those with
significant economic, social, or environmental impacts.
The materiality matrix is also informed by GRI's current
G4 Guidelines. This assessment entailed analysis and
disclosure of multiple factors, which included our
corporate strategy, social engagement, and influence
on supply chain and consultant entities, among other
factors. The matrix is intended as a preliminary analysis
to determine the content of this report and will be
continuously reviewed for relevance.

Training and Development
The mission of our training and development team
is to help improve the performance of employees by
identifying and providing learning services that directly
align to and advance Dewberry's culture. This includes
supporting the learning needs across the organization
from the Fairfax, Virginia, headquarters to local offices
across the U.S. In 2017, we recorded more than 10,000
training course completions in the Dewberry Talent
Center, which is our learning management system.
We increased the number of courses offered through
eTraining. The courses included:
