Bechtel today released its Annual Report highlighting last year’s efforts to deliver for customers, keep colleagues and communities safe, and strengthen the path forward to a cleaner, greener, safer, and fairer world despite the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I want to thank Bechtel colleagues for demonstrating great resilience, partnering with one another and our customers to overcome many obstacles. I also want to thank our customers for entrusting us with their highest-impact projects,” said Chairman and CEO Brendan Bechtel. “Despite the challenges of 2020, the toughest in our company’s history, we stood with our customers to drive progress, and achieved one of the best safety records ever. Aware of the need to reenergize the global economy as soon as possible, we are now resolved more than ever to tackle the big global challenges that will determine the future of humanity and our planet.”
