At Zachry, citizenship has always been the foundation of the way we do business.  Beginning with a clearly articulated philosophy by the founder of our company, H. B. “Pat” Zachry, our business has evolved over three generations to reflect our complex modern world while retaining the core values of the past. Today, we embrace the obligation to be a valued member of our communities, to provide a meaningful work environment for our employees and to deliver distinctive value to our customers.

Our vision as a company is to be “a principle-based enterprise that combines the best in people and technology to create a special business experience, seeking always to make a difference.”

Staying true to our vision demands engaging a diverse and empowered workforce, exercising good stewardship of our resources, delivering value to our customers and creating a positive impact in the communities in which we operate. The driving force behind all of this is ethical behavior.

We are managing our business for the long term. As guardians of the health of our business — and as human beings — we recognize that our day-to-day decisions must reflect the sustainable balance between the needs of our employees, customers and communities and our own need to generate an appropriate commercial return. Achieving this balance on a consistent basis will define business success.

To maximize our effectiveness as a productive corporate citizen, we focus our citizenship strategy on five areas: sustainability, community investment, philanthropy, responsible business practices and people development.
