Sustainability
BHGR 2030
At Berg Hill Greenleaf Ruscitti LLP, we have a vested interest in the future of our planet. We looked to our partners, team members, community leaders, and experts in climate change reform and developed and adopted “BHGR 2030.”
BHGR 2030 encompasses the firm’s short and long-term sustainability initiatives designed to reduce our environmental footprint and incentivize reform at the policy-making level. These initiatives are overseen and managed by the firm’s Sustainability Committee, led by partners Rudy Verner, David Kerr, Peter Schaub, and Geoffrey Williamson, associate Kevin Falvo, and administrated by Ashley Cawthorn.
Berg Hill Greenleaf Ruscitti adopted BHGR 2030 in 2022 with the goal of becoming carbon neutral across all of its offices and operations by 2030.

We have looked to our community to help us achieve our greenhouse gas emission reduction goals and business practices and incentivize our employees to adopt healthy and sustainable work habits. Through these partnerships, we strive to become champions for climate change reform and industry leaders in this lifelong initiative.
