From long-term strategic trajectories to day-to-day operations, we continually align these practices with accountable economic, environmental and social goals. To this end, we have produced a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) report every year since 2010, which includes our commitment to provide world-class employee training, supporting over 80 community non-profit organizations, and engaging small, minority and women-owned businesses as both project partners and as mentors.

Kenzi’s Causes was founded by Jessica Bachus after her daughter, Kenzi, was stillborn at 24 weeks. Overcome with grief, Jessica felt compelled to channel her emotions into something that would honor Kenzi’s memory. With this deep and noble calling, Kenzi’s Causes, formally known as Dolls for Daughters and Kenzi’s Kids, was born. Jessica and her family began providing dolls to children during the holiday season who would otherwise go without. It was in her own grief that she stabilized the hearts of others. Over a decade later, Jessica’s heartbreak led to a breakthrough that would change the trajectory of struggling families in the Colorado area forever.
