2025 Impact Report
Building a stronger,
more impactful future.
Together.
For nearly three decades, Anchor QEA has operated on a simple belief: delivering excellence and strengthening our people, community, and the environment go hand in hand.
As you’ll see in our report, that belief has also driven tremendous firmwide progress in 2025. Revenue grew to $143 million as we expanded our work nationwide and advanced the priorities in our 2028 Strategic Plan. Demand for restoration, resilience, remediation, and revitalization continues to rise, and our teams are helping clients solve their most challenging problems with practical, science-based solutions that create generational impacts.
As we look to 2026, our direction is clear. We will continue to carry out our 2028 Strategic Plan, deepen leadership in restoration and climate resilience markets, strengthen our delivery, and reduce our emissions.
Our Commitment to
People, Community, and Environment (PCE)
In 2025, Anchor QEA employed over 500 staff across 27 offices nationwide and supported more than 530 clients spanning industrial, energy, federal, state, local, and port and harbor sectors. Our multidisciplinary teams, engineers, scientists, planners, landscape architects, and construction managers, work together to solve complex challenges in remediation, restoration, resilience, and revitalization.
Our mission is to transform our environment and communities, with integrity and vibe; a spirit that shapes our culture and strengthens relationships with clients and colleagues. Guided by our core values of Safety, Initiative, Service, Vibe, Quality, and Integrity, we are committed to delivering excellent work and doing what’s right.
Our culture is built on collaboration, creativity, and inclusion. We believe that attracting and supporting talented people and creating an environment where everyone is respected and empowered is essential to innovation and long-term impact. With a partnership mindset and technical depth across disciplines, Anchor QEA helps clients manage risk, restore ecosystems, and build resilient infrastructure that supports healthier communities and a more sustainable future.

Our Vision for 2026
Building on the strong momentum of 2025, Anchor QEA management will continue advancing our People, Community, and
Environment (PCE) program as a core driver of long-term value and impact. Our 2028 Strategic Plan, grounded in our mission, vision, and core values, remains our guiding framework as we move forward.
In People, we will refine our practice area structures to better align staff with the work they perform, strengthening technical cohesion, improving training and staffing, and creating clearer pathways for professional growth.
In Community, we will reinforce stakeholder trust through strong governance and oversight by completing our CMMC audit and ISO 27001 surveillance audit. We will also expand partnerships with middle schools in underserved communities to support more inclusive STEM pathways and deepen engagement with industry associations to strengthen responsible supply chain practices.
In Environment, we anticipate SBTi approval of our 2030 emission targets allowing planning and early application of actionable footprint-reduction measures.
