Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee (DEIC) provides awareness of and support for the advancement employees from historically disadvantaged groups at Fuss & O’Neill. It also serves to advance a culture that makes Fuss & O’Neill a best place to work.
The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee was formed to be proactive; our intention is to make Fuss & O’Neill a best place to work for all employees, while cultivating awareness of the challenges for historically disadvantaged employees. Our formation in 2018 as the Gender Equity and Leadership Committee was rooted in the national dialogue surrounding gender equity. However, our intention from the outset has been to build a foundation of equity work that would foster parity for all historically disadvantaged employees. In 2020, with the national dialogue surrounding the Black Lives Matter movement, the Committee decided to update our mission to clearly declare that it is integral to our company culture to actively create an equitable culture for all employees.
Our Mission
- Cultivate awareness of the challenges for success among those historically disadvantaged by race, gender, sexuality, ability, and religion – and the intersections of these social identities.
- Institute policy changes, foster mentoring at all levels, and provide support for the advancement of historically disadvantaged groups.
- Cultivate, retain, support, and advance employees belonging to historically disadvantaged groups.
- Authentically foster diversity by leveraging the varied backgrounds and experiences of our employees as we work together to improve our culture to make Fuss & O’Neill a best place to work.
PFAS Emerging Contaminants Taskforce
Ongoing research into heavily used chemicals is revealing risk to both human health and to the environment. Fuss & O’Neill’s Emerging Contaminants Taskforce was created to provide ongoing analysis and an up-to-date understanding of current investigative and treatment strategies regarding emerging contaminants (contaminants of emerging concern). Our knowledge helps us treat, resolve, and remediate both water and land, which improves both public health and environmental conditions.
Mission Statement
The Emerging Contaminants Taskforce recognizes that the pursuit of information and ability to adapt are integral components to providing comprehensive environmental services. The Emerging Contaminants Taskforce dedicates itself to staying current with research and data; to working with advisory boards, government agencies, and the scientific community; and to bring its clients the most scientifically-proven approach to management and resolution.

We shall be advocates for, and creators of: shared roadway space, alternative pathways, and equitable access.
