As a core philosophy, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been an important part of how we do business at C3. We strive to make a positive impact on the environment as well as to serve the public good. C3 agrees with the intent of the United Nation’s sustainability goals and global approach to CSR of people, planet, and profit… the triple bottom line.

People.  C3 uses fair and ethical business practices for our employees, our clients, and in the communities in which we conduct business around the world. This includes protecting technology, intellectual property (IP), and other client trade secrets. As a result, we have earned repeat business, employee loyalty, and trusted business relationships with our associates.
We also proactively engage with economic development partners to help bring new business into key regions. And C3 gives back to our communities through a company sponsored program of charitable donations and volunteerism, such as earthquake relief in Sichuan, China, gift collections for underprivileged children, and local youth sports team support.

Planet.  Supporting clean energy projects is at the top of C3’s business plan.  We continually seek ways to further reduce our environmental footprint by carefully managing our energy consumption and disposal of non-renewable waste, both in our offices, fabrication shop, and on project sites. We use both LEED and lean manufacturing practices in our facility construction projects.

Profit.  C3 is a privately held company. We believe in profit sharing with our employees, not only as a viable business practice that promotes innovation and efficiencies, but also as further economic benefit to the communities in which we live.
