Milestone Environmental Earns Second Houston Chronicle Top Workplace Honor
Recognition underscores company's commitment to employee-centered culture and shared values
Houston, Texas - Milestone Environmental has been named a 2025 Top Workplace by the Houston Chronicle, marking the second time the company has earned the recognition. Milestone first received the honor in 2023.
The Top Workplaces program is based entirely on confidential employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey that measures organizational culture, including alignment, execution, connection, and leadership performance.
“Receiving this recognition twice tells us we're on the right path," said Milestone Environmental President and CEO Gabriel Rio. “Our team shows up every day to put our values—Safety, Integrity, Respect, Reliability, Courage, Ownership—into practice. They're how we actually work together and take care of our customers. I'm grateful to every person on our team who makes Milestone the kind of place where people want to stay and grow.”
The award comes at a time of continued growth for Milestone Environmental, while maintaining its focus on employee experience and development. Milestone’s commitment to safety is deeply embedded in its operations, with employees completing an average of 20 hours of health, safety, and emergency response training annually. In recent years, the company engaged an external firm to conduct a comprehensive review of its health and safety processes against best industry practices, reinforcing its dedication to continuous improvement as the company grows.
