We recognize our environmental and societal responsibilities. We are committed to sustainability and to minimizing damage to the environment as well as any potential harm to the health and safety of employees, customers, and the public. We recognize an individual’s right to water as a fundamental human right. In addition, we are subject to the requirements of numerous federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and rules which promote the protection of the environment. Examples of federal statutes that apply to our business include the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, the Clean Air Act, the Water Pollution Control Act, and the Safe Drinking Water Act. It is our policy to comply with both the letter and the purpose of all environmental laws and regulations.

Our Philosophy

We believe that the work we perform to optimize and upgrade systems and to enable wise controls allows Kensington Mechanical to optimize energy use and fundamentally reduce our nation’s carbon footprint.

At Kensington Mechanical, our emphasis on environmental stewardship and improving productivity drives our efforts to become more energy efficient. Replacing an aging building’s existing systems with modern, energy-efficient systems significantly reduces a building’s energy consumption and carbon footprint while improving cost, air quality, and overall system effectiveness.

We strive to minimize our environmental impacts through board oversight, regulatory compliance, ongoing improvement investments, local specialists, and community group involvement. Our Board of Directors supplies high-level oversight of our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance through the Governance and Nominating Committee, which reviews and advises on updates from our corporate management team on at least a bi-annual basis.

Kensington Mechanical is committed to developing and adopting leading technologies. We are improving productivity by increasing the use of innovative techniques in prefabrication, project design, and planning, as well as coordination and production methods. We have invested in the refinement and adoption of prefabrication practices. Our additional investments in design and building information modeling enable us to collaborate with our customers to achieve reliable and energy-efficient construction outcomes and to eliminate unnecessary waste.

We work to identify, develop, and implement new materials, products, and methods that can achieve greater productivity and more efficient and sustainable outcomes. Above all, we have concluded that as technology develops in our industry the fundamental prerequisite for leadership in adopting such opportunities is the quality, accuracy, and buildability of our designs.

Accordingly, we have invested in the experts, training, and internal and external knowledge transfer to ensure that we are properly scaling, achieving true buildability, and continuously improving our design capabilities to meet our customers’ evolving requirements.
