CEOs of the Granite Companies: Creating Value for All Stakeholders

Stakeholder value is central to the Granite mission: “We grow companies to create value for all stakeholders.”

Each year we ask the company CEOs, “What value did your company create for customers this year and in recent years? For team members? For suppliers? For the local community?” This year we also asked, “As you reflect on the year, what stakeholder or stakeholder group stands out, and why?”
