Bechtel Recognized for Green Practices


Bechtel Corp. received an Office Depot Leadership in Greener Purchasing Award, which recognizes its efforts to incorporate sustainability into its procurement practices. The award recognizes Bechtel’s commitment to environmental sustainability through purchasing greener products.

In 2010, Bechtel began collaborating with Office Depot as part of its responsible procurement program, an effort to integrate environmental and social sustainability into Bechtel operations and its supply chain. The collaboration, which included developing an internal system to make it easier to purchase green products, has increased Bechtel’s procurement of green office supplies for its U.S. operations.
