PAE is humbled and excited to announce that we are now a Certified B-Corporation. B-Corps are businesses are purpose-driven, using their products, services, and profits as a force of good. Meeting the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability, B-Corps redefine the business landscape and build a more inclusive, responsible, and sustainable economy.

With over 4,000 Certified B Corporations across 77 countries and 1,300 is the U.S., PAE is both proud and humbled to join the ranks of companies such as these.

Our vision is to help solve the planet’s energy and water challenges, and operating as a triple bottom line firm of people, planet, and profit for over a decade, this was a natural step for us. We are leading the way as one of the first ten building design engineers in the country to be certified.

Living our values
This means not only operating an environmentally restorative business, but also committing to societal, environmental, and business transparency certifications like JUST and B-Corp.

Setting the bar high
Certifications like these not only serve as transparent barometers of our commitments, they also encourage healthy discussions with our clients and our staff.

By measuring our progress, we can better determine where we can improve our impacts in our communities and our planet’s ecosystems. We also hope our stewardship will inspire other organizations to join with us, as governments and non-profits cannot solve societal issues alone.

As PAE President, Paul Schwer, says,

“PAE became B-Corp certified to reinforce the triple bottom line philosophy we have had for over a decade. We use the rigor of rating systems like B-Corp and JUST to challenge ourselves to continually improve and to join a community of firms that believe the solutions to many of the world’s challenges can come from the business world. We are excited to be one of the first ten building design engineers in the country to be B-Corp certified.”

Evolving together
As our world evolves, so must our commitments to society, to people, and to our planet. We vow to routinely review our JUST and B-Corp certifications, to actively listen to our staff and to our clients, and continuously look for ways to improve.

"I’m excited my firm is showing proof that they value our community and environment in this way."

Samantha Colasardo, Administrative Operations Manager
