A long-time supporter of the Widows, Orphans & Disabled Firemen’s Fund, Environmental Contracting Corporation is one of the leading general contractors for tenant improvement interiors and renovations in Southern California. Environmental’s primary goal, however, has always been to “make a difference” with its projects. Through leadership, innovation and high standards, Environmental Contracting Corp. builds the very foundation out of which a community can grow and thrive. The better the structure, the stronger the foundation, the better the community.
It is no great surprise that Environmental Contracting Corp. is a tremendous supporter of those who risk life and limb to protect important structures. The company has been championing the Widows, Orphans & Disabled Firemen’s Fund since 2003, sponsoring the annual Hope for Firefighters event, held the first Thursday in June.
“As a general contractor,” comments Ara Bedros, Vice President of Operations, “We do a lot of work in buildings throughout Los Angeles and Orange County and realize how critical Fire Life Safety Testing can be. We’ve chosen to continue supporting the fund because, in the big picture, as evidenced on 9/11/01, our firefighters’ dedication to saving people’s lives, without any regard to their own, is a cause no one really can put a price on.”
A genuine partnership of client, architect and contractors, Environmental has clients that include Fortune 500 companies, law firms, private universities and cutting-edge media houses as well as tenant-based improvement projects. Yet, Environmental prides itself most on its efforts to strengthen communities through its philanthropy. “We are just honored to try to help in any way possible and hope to continue supporting the charity as long as we can,” says Bedros.
It’s all part of a giving cycle: Environmental continues to build up communities, firefighters stand by to protect those communities and, in thanks, Environmental makes sure those firefighters and their loved ones are cared for when the worst happens.
