2026 Impact Report
JE Dunn’s headquarters renovation reimagines the six-story, 190,157-square-foot home office to better support evolving work styles, future growth, and the collaborative culture at the heart of the employee-owned company.
The redesign introduces new indoor/outdoor social areas, expanded and flexible meeting spaces, enhanced workstations, and refreshed finishes throughout.
Sustainability and circularity shaped every decision. Rather than demolish, the project strategically repurposed the existing precast concrete structure and raw materials and diverted 107 tons of materials from landfills — 60% recycled, 27% donated, and 8% resold — generating nearly $70,000 in charitable contributions and delivering environmental benefits equivalent to growing 2,316 tree seedlings for 10 years. The headquarters is Missouri’s first WELL Gold-certified building and also achieved LEED Gold certification. JE Dunn is currently pursuing WELL Platinum for the updates made during the renovation.
A key focus was diverting nearly all existing furniture from landfills. Items were reused, donated to local nonprofits or recycled to support sustainability goals and community organizations throughout Missouri. JE Dunn offered the remaining furniture to employees to buy, which further reduced waste and raised more than $10,000. To double the impact, JE Dunn matched all employee contributions, resulting in more than $20,000 donated to local nonprofits.
