A message from our chief executive officer and chief investment officer

When John Ernest (Ernie) Dunn started this company, he relied on his personal values and emphasized doing business the right way.

He believed in treating people fairly, keeping his word, and making decisions he could stand behind — above all, doing the right thing, every time. More than 100 years later, our longevity and success are a direct reflection of those same values guiding our people, our purpose, and our practices. 

At JE Dunn, it’s our people who make the difference. They’re the reason our company continues to grow, adapt, and lead in an ever-changing industry. Their dedication, pride in their work, and willingness to take on complex challenges are what keep us moving forward. They strengthen our culture, deepen our partnerships, and extend our impact in the communities where we live, work, and build. This Impact Report showcases how JE Dunn’s values are organized around three core pillars: Purpose, People, and Practices. 

Our Purpose defines why we do what we do — enriching lives through inspired people and places. We build the places where life happens.  

Our People represent how we bring that purpose to life — through collaboration, safety, inclusion, and opportunity. 

Our Practices guide what we do every day — measurable, accountable actions that strengthen our projects, our operations, and the communities we serve. 

Sustainability, community impact, and responsible governance are not new priorities for our company — they’re simply an extension of who we’ve always been and how we’ve always tried to run this business. 

At the same time, we recognize that our industry is evolving, and so are we. We’re investing in smarter building methods, new technologies, and more innovative ways of working, to improve outcomes, support our teams, and raise the bar for what’s possible in construction. 

This report highlights where we are today, what we’re learning, and how we’re building on our legacy to make a meaningful difference. We’re proud of our history, grateful for the people who make our work possible, and excited about the future we’re shaping together.
