Baltimore: The CEO - CFO Speaker Series Featuring EA Engineering, Science, and Technology, Inc., PBC

EA Engineering, Science, and Technology, Inc, PBC:
Leading the Way In Employee Ownership and Corporate Social Responsibility


EA is a 100% Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)-owned public benefit corporation that provides environmental, compliance, natural resources, and infrastructure engineering and management solutions to a wide range of public and private sector clients. Headquartered in Hunt Valley, Maryland, EA employs more than 450 professionals through a network of 25 commercial offices across the continental United States, as well as Alaska, Hawaii, and Guam. 

In business for more than 43 years, EA has earned an outstanding reputation for technical expertise, responsive service, and judicious use of client resources.

Key Takeaways:
  • Since its founding in 1973, EA has experienced almost every possible ownership structure:  founder/partnership, publicly traded, institutional investor owned, and finally, 100% employee owned through an ESOP.  Ian and Peter will share the lessons learned and pros and cons of each phase.
  • Since 2014, EA has been 100% owned by its ESOP.  Ian and Peter will share their efforts to build employee engagement and ownership culture at EA.
  • Also since 2014, EA has been a Public Benefit Corporation under Delaware law.  Under this structure, EA remains a for-profit company, but under its corporate charter, the Board of Directors must balance the interests of stockholders with those of other stakeholders.  The Company also must report biannually on the delivery of EA’s specific public benefits, which focus on improving the environment for our clients and communities.  Ian and Peter will describe this innovative new structure and how it works at EA.
