OUR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

SUSTAINABILITY

Recognizing a shared responsibility for environmental stewardship, Tidwell Excavating is guided by a matrix of sustainable business practices. Its overarching goal is to continually monitor and evaluate its ecological footprint and to work with suppliers, subcontractors and partners who reflect this commitment. While complying with all environmental laws, Tidwell seeks to be a leader in the utility and telecommunications industry through practices that span recycling and reuse, e-waste disposal, resource conservation and efficiency, and public cleanup initiatives. Tidwell’s environmental principles mirror those of its largest client, Southern California Edison, which is working toward the state’s goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045.
