We are Verdantas!
We are people. We are united. We are building a better tomorrow.
Our Story
In 2020, we started with a vision to build a consulting company focused on our environment – making the world a better place. We then began to bring together consulting companies that all shared this common focus for a better world and put people first. Each entity that joins contributes its engineering, planning, science and technical expertise to create One Great Company to solve complex problems. They bring a legacy of excellence, a reputation of honesty and integrity, with like-minded cultures dedicated to inclusion, diversity, and collaboration. Collectively, we are experts in the environment and its supporting infrastructure who are committed to a people-focused future. Our efforts positively impact the communities we are welcomed into, our employees are allowed to balance their everyday lives, they are encouraged to grow into who they wish to become - all while putting our clients and the community we live in at the center of our actions.
Our Passion
Building a Better Tomorrow
Verdantas will be a global firm that solves complex natural and built environment problems and partners with our clients to provide clean air and water, reliable energy, and green infrastructure solutions.
Our Niche
Agility with our people, our resources and our expertise. We do this within the ever-changing communities and client environments
Our Vision
The Place Where People Matter
Verdantas will be known as the place people want to work. We strive to build a culture that encourages our employees to balance their everyday lives, grow their careers, and thrive in a culture of inclusion, diversity, and collaboration while putting our clients and communities at the center of our actions.
Our Legacy
Verdantas is driven by a singular mission to create a better world for ourselves and future generations. Verdantas was created by merging 5 companies – Alden Research Laboratory, Duffield Associates, GeoInsight, HSW Consulting, and Hull & Associates into One Great Company. Led by a group of engineers, planners, scientists, and technology experts with shared values, cultures and vision for the future. A company where a green, sustainable and a people first approach is at the foreground of all our actions.
Our Commitment
Whether it is restoration, new construction, redevelopment of existing assets, or finding resiliencies in our resources—discovering and creating a sustainable and green approach to everything we do is part of our Verdantas DNA. We believe it is our responsibility to:
- Protect our ecosystem including the water, the plants, and all living creatures,
- Implement engineering, science and technologies that preserve our natural resources; and,
- Bring harmony to the ecosystem and all living creatures to help combat climate change.
