By nature, a company that cares about the environment is a company that cares about community.
In some years, Aspen makes contributions for a wide array of organizations. In other years, such as following large natural disasters,
it is more focused giving.
The following are the key beneficiaries of Aspen's corporate support, followed by an extraordinary list of organizations for which
Aspen staff members contributed their own time and money. We hope this will serve as an inspiration to others to give. In order to
encourage such acts of kindness, we have instituted a policy allowing each staff member a paid day off each year to perform volunteer work.

Leadership
Aspen takes prides in the fact that a high percent
of our staff have advanced degrees and Aspen encourages continuing
education for the professional development of its employees by offering
flexible hours, tuition reimbursement for courses and seminars,
and for obtaining professional registrations.
In addition, Aspen encourages its staff members to
join professional organizations such as the American Planning Association,
National Association for Environmental Professionals, and Association
of Environmental Professionals. Such memberships allow our staff
to grow professionally and build relationships in their fields.
