Thompson Engineering Honored For Corporate Responsibility

Thompson Engineering recently announced that it has again been named an Accredited Quality Contractor (AQC) by the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC). This is the third year the company has earned this credential for its commitment to corporate responsibility. Only 229 of the nation’s elite merit shop construction contractors earned the credential in 2020, Thompson Engineering said. Launched in 1993, ABC’s AQC program provides recognition to construction firms that have documented their commitment in quality; safety performance; talent management; craft and management education; and community relations, inclusion, diversity and equity. In earning the AQC credential, each member company commits to ABC’s STEP Safety Management System. Founded more than three decades ago, STEP dramatically improves safety performance among construction industry participants, with top performers achieving incident rates more than eight times safer than the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average.
