We envision and strive to deliver a world where the emphasis is on people and place, and technology and data inform and enable action that delivers positive and self-sustaining benefits for Everyone. It is for this reason that the Global Impact Initiative we are now launching is simply called “Everyone”. We have an entire civilization and planet at a tipping point, and everyone is a stakeholder in delivering a better future. It’s very exciting to have an organization such as Valmont as part of our global network to help advance this agenda. With over 11,000 team members and operating in over nearly 100 countries, their involvement will significantly amplify the impact we can make.”
