HKA recognises that it can have an impact on the environment, both directly from our operations and indirectly through our services. We seek to manage our environmental impacts, risks and opportunities to reduce the cost of doing business and to protect and enhance the environment in which we operate. In keeping with HKA’s overall vision of making the best possible outcome a reality, every time, we are committed to outcomes that create multi-faceted benefits for the environment, our clients and the community as a whole.
For over 25 years, through litigation, teamwork, and advocacy, DC Appleseed has helped make the District of Columbia a better place to live and work. The thousands of hours of pro bono time donated by our volunteer attorneys, business leaders, and community experts multiply the impact of our financial support many times over.
On 7 June, HKA sponsored the DC Appleseed Center for Law and Justice’s 2023 Seeding Change Luncheon which was held at DC Water’s HQ in Washington, DC.
Steven Stanton, Partner, Ryan Groves, Senior Associate Consultant, and Andrew Dillon, Director, attended the event to support organization’s award-winning work. The money donated will assist in supporting DC Appleseed’s current initiatives:
• Continuing the pace-setting effort of environmental cleanup of the Anacostia River
• Producing a landscape assessment and analysis of DC’s Workforce Development system
• Advocating for DC statehood and limiting federal intervention into local affairs
