The Department of Energy issued a Human Performance Handbook 15 years ago. Many of these principles apply to the LPS method that GES has embraced for quality and health and safety. Related to quality, the principle of human performance from this handbook that resonates most loudly is the following:

People achieve high levels of performance because of the encouragement and reinforcement received from leaders, peers, and subordinates. 

The Environmental Business Journal®(EBJ), a business research publication which provides high value strategic business intelligence to the environmental industry, honored Groundwater & Environmental Services, Inc. (GES) with a 2023 EBJ Technical Merit Award for our Unmanned Aerial Systems for expanding its sUAS services in 2023 targeting natural gas and petroleum pipeline right-of-way (ROW), and abandoned and orphaned oil and gas (AOOG) well services.

Environmental sustainability is a GES core value. Sustainability measures and continuous improvement processes permeate every facet of our organization and enhance project execution for our clients. GES recently completed a comprehensive evaluation of our sustainability practices with EcoVadis and earned a Bronze medal, which places us among the top 35% of companies assessed. GES’ strengths included process optimization, employee training and development, health and safety, information security, ethics, and procurement policies. This is a big accomplishment for GES! 

Recruiting environmental professionals to work at GES is vital to our ongoing success. Our own VP of Marketing, Vince Passaro, recently did his part by accepting an invitation from Dr. Kim Lichtveld, MSPH, Chair and Associate Professor, to be a guest lecturer at his alma mater, the University of Findlay, OH (UF). In 1981, Vince graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in biology, but he is credited with being their first unofficial graduate of the school’s Environment, Health, Safety & Sustainability (EHSS) program.
