Core Values - From the Beginning

Charter’s Mission: To be the region’s sought-after partner of choice, providing differentiated, safely executed solutions to complex environmental remediation, civil construction, and brownfield redevelopment challenges.

Our core values have been with us since the beginning. And these values only get stronger as we grow. Founded on the principle of authenticity, Charter embarked on a mission to solve challenges for our customers’ unique problems while maintaining an unwavering commitment to safety and quality. As we look out over the horizon to the future and to the increasingly challenging, multi-scope projects we track, it is exactly this commitment that has delivered our success over the years.

Safety

Safety is Charter’s top priority and the foundation of our culture. Every project begins with a clear objective: to deliver high-quality results, support our clients as a trusted partner, and ensure that safety is never compromised. Our teams live that commitment daily, and our Safety Steering Committee guides strategy and accountability at every level of the organization.

This focus has earned Charter the AGC Safety Award for 17 years, an ISNetworld Safety Rating of “A,” and an EMR consistently below 1.

Our comprehensive safety program includes routine and site-specific training, contingency planning, regular audits, and recognition for safety innovation and improvement. Field personnel receive a minimum of 40-Hour HAZWOPER and 10-Hour Construction Safety training, with access to all required refresher courses. Every employee has stop-work authority and is empowered to take ownership of project safety, reinforcing that a strong safety culture depends on every individual.

At Charter, safety is not just a policy, it is a shared responsibility and a core value that defines how we work.

We embrace complexity

The work we do is challenging by design, demanding innovative thinking, proven systems, and disciplined execution. At Charter, we don’t shy away from the hardest problems; we seek them out, developing solutions that deliver both technical success and long-term value.

Our greatest achievements come not only from solving complex challenges, but from the trust we build along the way. For us, the most rewarding measure of success is when clients return to partner with us again, and recommend us without hesitation.
