People are our top priority. We have an uncompromising focus on safety and a drive to ensure all voices are heard – team members, partners, and communities.

Safety is paramount

We adhere to stringent processes and maintain rigorous training requirements to ensure the safety of our staff, partners, the communities we work with, and, ultimately, the safety of our planet.

Combined, our safety department has over 40 years of renewable energy Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) experience. We conduct approximately 2000 safety training hours annually, including field and office personnel, and we’re proud of our record. No team members have had a recordable injury over the last three years.

Building trust within our communities

Longroad engages with our host communities through on-the-ground listening, open communications, and follow-through. Our projects offer an economic catalyst for communities, generating new tax revenue streams and supporting local and regional employment that have broad benefits and positively impact daily lives.

We also provide additional contributions that make a tangible and lasting impact, taking the time to learn where and how we can make a difference. Donations have included support for a wide array of local and nonprofit programs; scholarships, heating assistance, fire and emergency services, food insecurity programs, wildlife conservation, land preservation, holiday celebrations, recreational activities, and more.

At Longroad, all voices are heard and people’s opinions and ideas are valued
