Our Corporate Responsibility Report 2014 emphasizes our progress and current initiatives. REPORT SCOPE AND BOUNDARY The report covers the 2014 reporting period and serves as an open and ongoing dialogue on how we address and continuously improve the responsibility of our company. At the end of the report, you will find a Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Content Index, which organizes our responses to the GRI G3.1 sustainability reporting disclosures. These disclosures adhere to Application Level C of the GRI G3.1 framework. We welcome your feedback throughout the year at corporateresponsibility@davey.com. ENGAGING OUR STAKEHOLDERS In 2013, we conducted a materiality assessment to determine which economic, environmental and social issues matter most to our stakeholders. As part of this assessment, we conducted interviews with internal stakeholders and analyzed existing internal and external surveys. We consider our stakeholders to include any group that is affected by or affects our business. Such groups include employees, clients, suppliers, industry associations, regulators and the communities in which we work. Because we are employee-owned, our employees are also our shareholders. We aim to report using the GRI G4 framework in fiscal year 2015, and plan to update our material economic, environmental and social issues through a robust materiality assessment. Such an assessment will assist us in validating that issues identified in 2014 are still material, and determine boundary for each material topic. CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY PILLARS Our corporate responsibility pillars guide our company vision: Unmatched excellence in client experience, employee engagement, financial strength and value delivered. Our commitment focuses on the following four pillars: Safe Business Practices Sustainable Environment Innovative Thinking Engaged Employees 03
