At TGE, our commitment to inclusivity is more than just a policy—it’s a core value that shapes our culture and interactions. As part of our ongoing efforts to foster a more inclusive environment, we are dedicated to being intentional with the language we use. Language is powerful; it can either bridge gaps or create barriers. Therefore, we are taking steps to ensure that our communication reflects our values of respect, diversity, and inclusion.

On February 6, 2024, The Green Engineer hosted a student engagement session at Concord Middle School for 6th to 8th grade students. In response to the disproportionate representation of BIPOC and female professionals in the fields of architecture, engineering and construction (AEC), the event aimed to introduce BIPOC students to the several potential pathways leading into the AEC profession. Engaging the students with a planned integrated design activity was meant to showcase the wide range of roles involved in the development of a built project, with a particular focus on sustainability.

On November 14, 2023, The Green Engineer will host an inspiring event at Walden Pond for BIPOC students from Concord Carlisle High School. This initiative aims to introduce students to the impactful field of sustainability consulting, showcasing TGE’s project, and the various career pathways available in this vital industry.

The Green Engineer, in collaboration with Friends of Wellesly Metco, Inc., will be providing funds for Wellesley Metco Students to be able to attend pre-college summer programs in sustainable design.
