Corporate Responsibility

For 125 years, Mead & Hunt has embraced change with a spirit of innovation and responsible leadership. Our journey began in 1900 when founder Daniel Mead established a consulting firm in Chicago, designing clean energy dam projects throughout the Midwest. Today, that pioneering vision continues to drive our commitment to sustainability, resilience, and ethical governance. These important factors guide our approach to projects, whether we’re creating accessible spaces that incorporate universal design, developing solutions for carbon removal, addressing climate risks, improving water systems, or converting waste into renewable energy.

Responsibility & Resilience Report

Our annual Responsibility & Resilience Report reflects our values: taking care of people, doing the right thing, and doing what makes sense. These principles inform how we govern ourselves and responsibly incorporate innovative technologies. In this report, our values are demonstrated by the core pillars that support client relationships and foster the firm’s culture—our company, our people and communities, and our planet.

Guided by these core pillars of excellence and our commitment to positive social impact, we’re building a future where innovation serves a greater purpose. We believe that strong ethical governance and inclusive decision-making are as valuable as technical excellence. With each project and strategic initiative, our dedication reveals how thoughtful, purpose-driven work supported by responsible innovation can reshape our world for the better.
