Company culture refers to the personality of a company. That encompasses the physical and social environment where employees work as well as the organization’s mission, values, ethics, expectations, and goals.

Doing our part to create a more Just world.
Many sustainability initiatives have been established over the years. They are focused on environmental and economic concerns, effecting real change and our quality of life as it applies to building and products. The International Living Future Institute (ILFI) who is responsible for creating several of these global certification programs soon realized that a clear and concerted effort to address social equity issues had been generally absent in most businesses and organizations. To help address concerns of this nature common in the workplace, they launched JUST.
In 2021, Hereford Dooley Architects started the documentation process for the JUST label. Designed to look like a nutrition label, it is a voluntary disclosure tool. The self evaluation process relies on transparency, open communication and honest information about how an organization treats their employees and practices community stewardship. Organizations can determine how well they address social justice concerns, and take steps to develop more progressive policies and practices.
We are proud of the investment we have made in yielding our JUST label. We are dedicated to elevating the discussion around social justice and improving the lives of our team members and our community. Together, through continuous improvement, we can help to create a better, more socially just and equitable world. We invite you to learn more about this program and its benefits.
