All members of our staff dedicate their time and attention to the areas that matter most, helping us to exceed client expectations every time.

Sustainability

For PENN, sustainability isn’t just a catch phrase, it is how we add value for our clients.

Areas that serve limited purpose, such as broad stretches of turf or parking lot islands, require significant and continual investment to maintain but provide little in the way of proportional benefit.

At PENN, we work with our clients to turn these areas into natural spaces that require less maintenance, promote biodiversity, and aid in air and water quality improvement. All of this, in turn, reduces the investment required by you to maintain your facilities.

PENN’s commitment to sustainability doesn’t just apply to our clients, it’s woven into our operations. We are constantly exploring paths to sustainability through dynamic routing, fuel efficient crew configurations, and reduction in idling allowing us to reduce our overall carbon footprint.

Sustainability begins at design inception and continues through to maintenance

Whether beginning with a blank slate or improving an existing site, PENN can design a sustainable landscape suited to your sustainability goals while reducing your long-term maintenance needs.

Starting with Sustainable Design Principles and incorporating Generally Accepted Integrated Pest Management strategies, PENN is able to create landscapes that are both aesthetically appealing and environmentally friendly.

Whether it is the introduction of a rain garden, green roof, native area, or a thriving selection of drought resistant plant species, PENN is able to provide ongoing value without an elevated level of investment.

Social Responsibility

Commitment to Compassion

PENN conducts business in a socially responsible manner. At PENN, we prioritize business practices that have positive social impacts in our surrounding communities. Our goal is social accountability, focusing on supporting the improvement of the communities in which we work by crafting socially conscious strategic plans.

PENN believes in embodying the principles of our collective faiths through acts of kindness, compassion, and service to others. By uplifting those in need and fostering a spirit of community, PENN strives to represent our collective beliefs in every day actions, creating positive, lasting impacts, within the communities we serve. We call this our Commitment to Compassion.

It’s Not Just Dollars and Cents

At PENN, our overall strategy, and how that strategy feeds into our daily operations, is not just about dollars and cents. With every decision, we consider how it will impact our people, communities, and clients and each of their opinions of those decisions.

PENN relies on the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) to aid in our social responsibility principles and core values, including accountability and integrity, to help ensure the long-term viability of the organization.

All decisions are weighted against the same criteria, including the expectations of our stakeholders, compliance with the law, how it will impact the communities we service, and the overall impact to our organization.
