BUILDING BEYOND 100

January 4, 2022 marks Granite’s 100th birthday – an entire century since our founding as a small construction operation on the Central Coast of California. 2022 will be a year of celebration for the company. 

OUR HISTORY

Deeply embedded in our 100-year history is a culture of hard work, honesty and getting the job done right. Granite’s roots are traceable to California construction license No. 89, one of the first 100 licenses, 96 percent of which no longer exist.

Granite's Core Values Compliance Program

The Code of Conduct consists of two sections: Core Values, and Compliance Program and Guidelines. Our Core Values are part of our heritage and are fundamental to who we are as an organization. These Core Values are the basis for our decision-making. The Compliance Program and Guidelines address some specific areas of concern, either due to the Company emphasis or legal requirements. 

Core Values
Our five core values are the cornerstone of our Code of Conduct: how we treat one another, operate with safety and integrity, provide value to our stakeholders, and incorporate sustainability into all that we do to make a difference in our communities and the world.  

Safety for all
The safety and well-being of our people, our partners, and the public is our greatest responsibility. Every level of our organization is engaged in our safety culture.

Integrity always

Excellence for our stakeholders
We strive for a high-performance culture of continuous improvement, innovation, and quality in all aspects of our work. We always perform and deliver our work the right way for our stakeholders.
