Sustainability
One way SMITH maintains its dedication to sustainability is through volunteer initiatives. Every year, SMITH employees volunteer thousands of hours on projects to improve and protect the environment. Additionally, SMITH has fostered a unique partnership with The Nature Conservancy, an international nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the few remaining wild spaces on the planet. Recent SMITH projects include restoring wetlands along the Gulf of Mexico coastline, reforestation of rain forests in Colombia, and removing debris from an endangered species habitat after a hurricane struck near corporate headquarters in Houston, Texas, USA.
