It is a real honor to once again be recognized among top impact-driven companies. At Salas O’Brien, being engineered for impact is not just our tagline—it’s the way we think and operate every day. As an employee-owned firm, every team member plays a critical role in driving our mission forward and creating solutions that shape a better, more sustainable world.
