The International Desalination Association and Global Water Intelligence recognized CH2M HILL as Water Company of the Year, and took home its 2012 Global Water Award, which is given to the water company that made the most significant contributions to the development and advancement of the global water sector over the past year. “We are able to excel and outshine our competition because of your hard work and dedication to solving our clients’ challenges,” wrote WBG President Bob Bailey to his team. “Thank you for your focus on our clients, safety, and producing quality work.”
CH2M HILL was selected based on numerous achievements in 2011. Among them was expanding our presence around the world with the acquisition of Halcrow, which broadened and deepened our influence – and value – for water users in all sectors; launching of water match, a water-related grassroots initiative that seeks to promote the beneficial reuse of municipal effluent by industrial and agricultural sectors. This is because we are one of the few engineering firms that can provide clients with complete operations and maintenance services within the water/ wastewater operations arena in addition to engineering technical expertise and because we have been listed among the World’s Most Ethical Companies by the Ethisphere Institute for 4 years in a row.
