Announcing HELM's JUST Label!

HELM is pleased to announce that we have been granted a JUST 2.0 label by the International Living Future Institute. This voluntary disclosure tool requires reporting on a range of social justice and equity indicators, providing a framework for assessing an organization’s impact on employees, stakeholders, and communities. You can find out more about the JUST program at living-future.org/just/.

HELM decided to pursue the JUST label as a means to assess our current performance, improve transparency regarding how we operate, and uphold our commitment to JEDI (justice, equity, diversity and inclusion). The application process prompted great conversations about our values and priorities and resulted in a full review and update of our company policies and employee handbook. The experience has helped us refine and articulate our policies in a way that centers HELM’s purpose and values and keeps us focused on our vision.

Thanks to the team at ILFI for their guidance during the application process and for creating the JUST program to support and celebrate sustainable businesses! You can view HELM’s JUST case study here. We are proud to join the ranks of JUST 2.0 labeled organizations, but we know that there is always room for improvement – we’re already working on a roadmap to improve our triple bottom line performance between now and 2023 when our label is up for renewal.

Based on our experience, the team at HELM is now equipped and excited to guide our clients through the JUST application process as we continue to promote social justice and sustainable business practices in the construction industry. Get in touch to learn more about how we can help you get started!
