Craft Culture
Sustainability Report 2025
At Quanta, sustainability means creating a lasting positive impact. Every day, our crews work with customers to meet sustainability goals, prioritizing safety and building critical infrastructure that connects electricity to growing demand centers. By investing in safety, training, and recruitment, we strengthen our workforce and expand our positive impact.
We are proud to help lead the most significant infrastructure investment cycle in over a generation.
The same words Everywhere
18 days. 10 destinations across North America. One mission: to experience Quanta’s craft and culture on the job sites where the work gets done.
Grant Forman, Ph.D., a chemist by training, has held senior management positions in sustainability since 2008 and has served as Quanta’s Senior Director of Sustainability since 2021.
Want to understand Quanta culture? You must go into the field where craft labor is doing the work. So that’s what I did.
I traveled thousands of miles to meet the people who solve problems, look out for one another, and get the job done every day, no matter the conditions.
The Work
The job sites I visited could not have been more different—from the Mojave Desert to Canada.
On a major transmission project in Central Ontario, temperatures can be fifty below zero on the lines. On SunZia wind project, turbines spread across miles of landscape, and the weather can change without warning.
In a modular data center facility, coordination is key. Crews plan around shipping schedules, site integration, and commissioning, constantly adjusting their work to stay on track.
At 3 a.m. during a snowstorm, two crew members respond to an outage, working hard until power is restored. A city depends on their work. Reliability here isn’t a metric; it’s a daily responsibility.
Regardless of operating company, geography, or project type, the same priorities appeared everywhere: take care of the crew, do the work right, and make sure everyone goes home safely.
The Morning Stand-Up
The early-morning quiet is animated by the arrival of crews, foremen, and supervisors. They gather to discuss the coming day’s work.
Every stand-up starts with safety—personal protection, tool use, safety performance. The team shares lessons learned from yesterday’s good catch: The crew located an energized switch and stopped the job to secure the site.
Every day, the team works with this unity and purpose: looking out for each other, learning together, and living out their responsibility on the job site.
This isn’t a meeting to impress anyone. It’s a meeting to get everyone home safely.
In stand-up meetings and in my conversations across Quanta, the same words surfaced again and again.
That’s what creates consistency of culture across the organization and helps teams deliver critical infrastructure safely, reliably, and with pride.
Continuing the Mission
At the Quanta Advanced Training Center, acres of training yards, transmission structures, substations, and high-voltage labs replicate energized conditions. On the training structures, instructors guide students to lift, set, and climb again and again until the movements become second nature.
For many students, that journey starts after military service. Through the Veteran Electrical Entry Program, veterans bring their discipline, accountability, and teamwork to a training environment designed to match the intensity they experienced in the military. The expectations are high, the work is demanding, and trust in the people around you matters.
Those who complete the program leave with first-year apprenticeship credit and the qualifications to step directly onto a crew.
As one instructor told me, “We train them harder than they’ll work.” Students develop the muscle memory, judgment, and confidence needed when the pressure is real.
What I Brought Home
I came away with a simple realization: Culture isn’t what is written on a wall or presented in a meeting. Culture is how people treat one another, how decisions get made, and how work gets done when conditions are challenging.
Culture is how an organization gets things done, and it’s written on the face of everyone you meet and how they care for each other, like family.

Driven by a change in business mix, we met our Scope 1 CO₂ intensity target for a second consecutive year.
For the second consecutive year, we sourced Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to offset our electricity consumption (North American operations only).
We continue to deploy new technologies that help lower emissions, reduce waste, and improve efficiency while also expanding the use of advanced environmental screening tools, such as IUCN Protected Areas, to assess our impact on biodiversity.
