Sustainability

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to minimizing our environmental impact while delivering innovative, high-quality electrical infrastructure solutions. Our approach includes reducing emissions by transitioning to electric vehicles and equipment, implementing energy-efficient practices, and using sustainable materials wherever possible.

We actively support renewable energy projects by constructing transmission inter-ties that connect clean energy sources to the grid. Through careful planning and environmental stewardship, we ensure our projects not only meet the needs of today but are also adaptable to the challenges of tomorrow.

At TLS, we believe that a commitment to sustainability goes hand in hand with safety, reliability, and operational excellence, benefiting the communities we serve and the planet we all share.

We value partnerships with small and diverse subcontractors and suppliers, including Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) and certified small businesses. We actively engage with organizations like the Small Business Administration (SBA), California Department of General Services and the California Public Utilities Commission, among others. We also participate in various industry events like Meet the Primes to identify certified diverse and small businesses. These partnerships enrich our supply chain, foster competition, expand market penetration and enhance community commitment. Additionally, collaborating with diverse businesses promotes creativity, problem-solving and sustainable industry practices, leading to better decision-making and increased productivity.

Teichert recognizes more than 20 different inclusive and diverse certifications with more than 10 certifying agencies and organizations. We are investing in categorizing 12,000 eligible vendors to confirm and continuously track their DBE and small business status, ensuring these vendors maintain their certification
