The future depends on now; the best way to predict it is to create it. We seek to challenge the status quo by thinking like futurists; purposefully expanding our horizons so that we can imagine (and plan for) ideas and events that have yet to occur. In doing so, we design our future with significant meaning. At the heart of our efforts is a governance design process lead by our Board of Directors (BOD).
Our BOD members are cosmic combinations – part lifelong learner, strategist, and futurist. Individually and collectively focused upon Lamp Rynearson’s Future of Purpose. Our core values and purpose statement underpin our governance structure, systems, and processes to help drive value, quality, transparency, ethical behavior, and accountability. Unified, our Board oversees the company’s efforts to address environmental, social, and governance efforts – ensuring inclusive and sustainable business practices are applied.
Recognizing that the world is rapidly changing, our Board’s commitment isn’t static. So, together, we have mobilized to break down barriers and truly collaborate on our shared Future of Purpose. This year, we expanded our BOD committees to include an Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Committee and a Human Capital Committee geared toward our greatest assets: our Community of Solvers and our outside Stakeholders.
Our Board crafted these committees by asking, “What top trends will have a significant impact in the coming years.” The solutions?
- Technology will continue interrupting and advancing the marketplace as Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes more mature and available; we will be adaptable.
- We will continue to cultivate ESG strategies that span company-wide, ensuring they are not standalone policies and instead are anchored to our Future of Purpose.
- We will continue evolving our approach to attract and retain our Community of Solvers.
We believe that thriving cultures are purpose-driven. By acting as initiators of change, our BOD helps to define what’s possible. In a time where disruption, competition, and social expectations are soaring, our commitments enable us to drive purpose and deliver balanced outcomes.
With a Future of Purpose,
Nancy Pridal, PE, ENV-SP
