MWH Joins EPA's Climate Leaders

Broomfield, Colorado, December 10, 2008 - MWH, a global provider of environmental engineering, construction and strategic consulting services, today announced its participation in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Climate Leaders Program.  The partnership was announced in October at the Climate Leaders Partners Meeting in Chicago, and further solidifies the company's commitment to reducing energy consumption, managing greenhouse gas emissions and implementing sustainable practices for both the company and their clients.

As a member of the EPA Climate Leaders program, MWH has committed to implementing a comprehensive, long-term strategy to address climate change, including completing a corporate-wide inventory of its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and reducing its impact on the global environment by setting and achieving long-term GHG reduction goals.  MWH will report its progress annually to the EPA.

"At MWH, our commitment to leadership in environmental management is embedded in our culture, in how we approach our projects and how we run our business," said Alan J. Krause, President and Chief Operating Officer of MWH.  "Climate change is, without question, one of the critical issues of the 21st century and MWH is committed to helping manage the causes of climate change."

"EPA applauds our corporate partners who are reducing their climate footprints in cost-effective ways," said Stephen L. Johnson, EPA administrator.  "Not only is MWH contributing to this country's energy independence, MWH is proving that businesses can save green by going green."
