AESI represents roughly 1.5 percent of the productivity under the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) Site Remediation Professional (LSRP) Program. To date, the firm has closed 140 LSRP matters and has 270 total LSRP projects.

In addition to being the safe thing to do, Stretch & Flex is an opportunity for everyone to come together in the morning and an opportunity for managers to engage with their workforce.
