Farr Associates is committed to leadership in the realm of corporate transparency and advocacy.
We commit to a voluntary, full-disclosure policy on important organizational information and policies, including goals, governance, business operations, and our involvement in positive social and environmental causes.
JUST™ 2.0 Certification
Farr Associates was the first architecture firm in Chicago to achieve the International Living Future Institute’s Just Label.
The Just Program is voluntary and represents a public commitment to increased transparency, social justice, and serves as a “nutrition label” for equity in our policies and operations.
The label also identifies deficiencies in our policies and practices, helping to set the agenda to identify strategies that provide additional benefits to employees, furthering our equitable workplace practices.
AIA 2030 Commitment
Farr Associates is committed to the AIA 2030 Challenge, which lays out recommendations for how the architectural practice might mitigate its environmental impact by the year 2030. Firms who sign onto the challenge prioritize energy performance, pledging transparency by disclosing important energy metrics on their projects.
The AIA 2030 Commitment also requires abiding firms to create a sustainability action plan, ensuring that goals are implementable, and not just theoretical.
