About Us

Built to Deliver a Better World

AECOM is the world's trusted infrastructure consulting firm — a Fortune 500 company with ~51,000 planners, designers, engineers, scientists, consultants, and program and construction managers operating across the globe. We deliver professional services spanning the full project lifecycle, from advisory and planning through design, engineering, and program and construction management. On projects spanning transportation, buildings, water, new energy, and the environment, our public- and private-sector clients trust us to solve their most complex challenges. With a record $23.7 billion backlog and operations in over 150 countries, we are at the vanguard of infrastructure — thinking without limits to create sustainable legacies for generations to come.

Who we are

Planners, Designers, Engineers — One Team, One Purpose

We are a team of trusted advisors — organisational psychologists, data scientists, business and innovation strategists, architects, economists, and urban planners — all driven by a common purpose: to deliver a better world. Our culture is built on thinking without limits. Ideas have no borders, and that ethos is embedded in everything we do. The full scope of our global expertise is available to anyone who needs it, wherever they are. We partner with clients and communities, listening closely to improve lives and livelihoods while creating enduring legacies — for the planet, for communities, and for the people they impact.

What we do

From Advisory to Delivery — Across Every Phase

We partner with public- and private-sector clients to create innovative, sustainable, and resilient solutions throughout the project lifecycle. Our six core service lines — Advisory, Architecture & Design, Construction Management, Engineering, Environmental Services, and Program Management — give clients access to unrivalled technical depth and digital innovation. Whether navigating uncertainty through strategic advisory, designing the world's most ambitious infrastructure, managing multi-billion-dollar capital programmes, solving complex environmental challenges, or driving digital transformation, we bring the right expertise to the right challenge — every time.

Our Purpose

Delivering a Better World

Our purpose is simple and enduring: to deliver a better world. Whether improving your commute, keeping the lights on, providing access to clean water, or transforming skylines — infrastructure powers possibilities that help people and communities thrive. We understand both the urgency of the challenges facing our society and our responsibility to respond in an impactful and enduring way. Working throughout the project lifecycle, we are one team committed to delivering sustainable legacies for generations to come.

Our Values

What We Stand For

Safety is our first value — the wellbeing of our people and communities underpins everything. We are committed to technical excellence and innovation, embedding digital capability and data science across every engagement. We believe in equity, diversity, and inclusion as drivers of better outcomes — for clients, communities, and our business. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of ethics and governance, and we integrate environmental, social, and governance principles into our work. And we are guided by a culture of integrity — building trust with every client, every project, every day.

Sustainability

Sustainable Legacies — Our Commitment to a Resilient Future

AECOM's Sustainable Legacies strategy sets out bold environmental, social, and governance commitments to deliver positive, impactful, and sustainable legacies for society and our planet. We have committed to achieving operational net-zero carbon and embed ESG action plans on all major projects targeting at least a 50% reduction in carbon impact. Our proprietary ScopeX™ platform is a first-of-its-kind initiative to reduce carbon through design, considering embodied and operational carbon across the entire project lifecycle. AECOM has received the Terra Carta Seal in recognition of its leading sustainability position, and net-zero targets are among the first approved by the Science Based Targets initiative.

Community & Impact

Enriching Communities Through the Work We Do

AECOM is committed to generating social value through positive community investments and partnering with small and medium enterprises to create opportunity. We focus on delivering inclusive, accessible projects that proactively improve social value outcomes for individuals, communities, and society. Our teams reflect the diversity of the clients and communities we serve, and we actively sponsor outreach programmes that introduce underrepresented communities to architecture, urban planning, and environmental sustainability. In the UK and Ireland alone, our business delivered nearly $96 million of positive social value to the community in a single year.

Inclusion & Diversity

A Culture Where Everyone Belongs

AECOM believes equity, diversity, and inclusion enable better outcomes for clients, a deeper understanding of community challenges, and more innovative solutions that propel the industry forward. We have set industry-leading targets: women comprising at least 20% of senior leadership roles and at least 35% of the overall workforce. We have implemented locally relevant non-gender diversity goals across every region of our business, supported by employee-led resource groups dedicated to equity, diversity, and inclusion. AECOM earned the Equality 100 Award on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's 2023 Corporate Equality Index, recognising our leadership in fostering a welcoming and respectful environment.
