"In looking at the global environment, we must live by our principles, create an inclusive environment for our employees, and enact the next level of sustainable practices in our business operations and customer-focused solutions that will deliver a better world," said Chuck Harrington, Parsons' chief executive officer. "Our CARE strategy is an enterprise approach rooted in our corporate purpose, nourished by our core values, and made actionable through integrity-filled governance structure and ethical business practices.
