With Three-Year Revenue Growth of 130 Percent, This Marks EPR’s Sixth Time on the List.

NEW YORK, August 12, 2025 Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for the entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping our future, today announced that EPR is No. 3109 on the annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list provides a data-driven snapshot of the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, and Patagonia.

“Celebrating our 13th year providing environmental services, it has taken a great deal of hard work and dedication from an incredible team to maintain this level of growth while cultivating a company culture centered on a shared passion for the environment. Over the years, we have diversified our services while staying true to the values that guide our work. EPR remains committed to delivering innovative, high-quality environmental services to our clients, while also building strong relationships, fostering new opportunities, and providing effective solutions to meet their needs.

Not many companies make this list multiple times, and being recognized for a sixth time is a testament to the EPR team and family, whose continued passion for the environment is reflected in our diverse client base and extensive portfolio of projects. The story of EPR is still being written. While we’re proud of what we have accomplished, we are even more excited about the future and the opportunities ahead. We anticipate continued growth, greater diversification of our environmental services, and geographic expansion.

We also envision cleaner streams and rivers, restored forests and wetlands, and improved habitats for plants and animals. We look forward to continuing to serve our clients and to providing exceptional ecosystem planning and restoration services.”
Sonny Kaiser, Principal – Environmental Services.

This year’s Inc. 5000 honorees have demonstrated exceptional growth while navigating economic uncertainty, inflationary pressure, and a fluctuating labor market. Among the top 500 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate reached 1,552 percent, and those companies have collectively added more than 48,678 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.

“Making the Inc. 5000 is always a remarkable achievement, but earning a spot this year speaks volumes about a company’s tenacity and clarity of vision,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “These businesses have thrived amid rising costs, shifting global dynamics, and constant change. They didn’t just weather the storm—they grew through it, and their stories are a powerful reminder that the entrepreneurial spirit is the engine of the U.S. economy.” Inc. will celebrate the honorees at the 2025 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, taking place October 22–24 in Phoenix, and the top 500 will be listed in the Fall issue of Inc. magazine.

Since 2012, EPR has been an innovative team driving sustainable progress in dynamic environments, completing hundreds of stream, wetland, and terrestrial restoration projects, advancing restoration science, and strengthening community resilience. Our work restores ecosystems, protects biodiversity, and fosters healthier waterways, impacting both the environment and the communities we serve.

We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished, but we’re even more excited about what’s ahead. From expanding our nature-based solutions to introducing specialized services like bat habitat assessments, EPR continues to deliver results that matter.
