With more than 34,000 architects, data analysts, designers, engineers, project planners, water management and sustainability experts across 30+ countries, we exist to improve quality of life for people around the world. Founded in 1888 as a Dutch land reclamation business, we have grown over more than 130 years through strategic mergers and acquisitions into a €4.9 billion global enterprise. Today, we operate across four Global Business Areas — Places, Mobility, Resilience, and Intelligence — working with public and private sector clients to tackle the world's most pressing challenges, from climate change and rapid urbanization to digital transformation. Our work spans sustainable design and engineering, program and cost management, environmental services, and infrastructure advisory. From reducing flood risks in the Netherlands to revolutionizing urban transit in Sydney and Toronto, our world-changing solutions leave a positive and lasting impact on communities everywhere.

We are more than 36,000 architects, data analysts, designers, engineers, project planners, water management and sustainability experts — all driven by our passion for improving quality of life. We call ourselves Arcadians, and we are innovators who challenge the status quo and maximize our impact for clients and communities all around the world. Supported by our Lovinklaan Foundation, we invest in our people for the long term, fostering a skills-powered organization that fulfills both professional and personal growth. We believe in a diverse, inclusive workplace that accepts all people and empowers every Arcadian to be the best version of themselves — because when people find where they fit, that's when extraordinary things happen.

We design, plan, and execute complex projects and assets for our clients, while also supporting them in optimizing their operational management. Our integrated capabilities span advisory, design and engineering, project and program management, cost and commercial management, and environmental services — delivered through our four Global Business Areas: Resilience, Mobility, Places, and Intelligence. We bring together world-class resources and the latest innovative technologies to help define the cities and experiences of tomorrow. With a unique blend of creativity and science, our business is designed to generate extraordinary thinking and extraordinary execution for every project we undertake.

Our purpose is improving quality of life by creating liveable places where people and communities thrive. We enhance mobility, so that we can move sustainably in and between our cities. And we work to protect the environment and natural resources for future generations. We focus on finding innovative and lasting solutions to the world's biggest challenges, while making a difference to everyone's lives — now and in the future. This has been our mission since 1888, when we were founded to transform unusable wetlands in the Netherlands into prosperous land for people to farm. Everything we do has a positive societal impact on people's everyday lives. This is why we exist.

We are guided by a set of principles that define how we work and who we are as an organization. We are passionate about sustainability and committed to accelerating the transition to net zero — both in our own operations and in the work we do for clients. We embed environmental, social, and governance considerations into everything we do and report transparently on our performance. We provide a working environment that is diverse, inclusive, and accepting of all people. And we approach every challenge with curiosity, collaboration, and a genuine desire to leave the world better than we found it.

What sets Arcadis apart is our unique ability to offer end-to-end solutions — from advising on strategy, to designing and building the solution, and managing it digitally. With more than 10,000 design and engineering experts worldwide and a global network of 250+ offices, we combine global best practices with the local knowledge needed to deliver results. We are ranked #3 in Forbes World's Best Consulting Firms and top 2% in our industry for ESG Risk Rating by Sustainalytics. Our digital capabilities — including proprietary platforms like Enterprise Decision Analytics (EDA) — give clients data-driven insights that lead to smarter, faster, and more sustainable decisions. And with 95% of our 2025 revenue coming from clients we served in 2024, our track record of building trusted, enduring client relationships speaks for itself.

Sustainability is not just what we do for clients — it is how we operate. We are committed to accelerating the transition to net zero, targeting a 70% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2026 and a 45% reduction in Scope 3 by 2029. We embed environmental, social, and governance considerations into our operations and transparently report on our performance. We have been recognized for our commitment, scoring an A- in the CDP Climate Change questionnaire — placing us in the 'Leadership Category' — and ranking top 2% (4th place) in our industry for ESG Risk Rating by Sustainalytics. We are also recognized in Green Quadrant rankings for Building Decarbonization Consulting and Environmental Services.

We have a genuine passion for solving problems that improve the planet and make the world a better place. Everything we do has a positive societal impact on people's everyday lives — from designing flood defenses that protect thousands of homes, to managing water systems that serve communities across 30+ US states, to creating sustainable urban districts that people can truly call home. Through our pro bono program and community engagement work, we invest in the communities where we live and work, bringing the same expertise and commitment to social value that we bring to our largest commercial projects. We believe that improving quality of life starts with the people and communities closest to us.

At Arcadis, we are committed to building a workforce that is diverse, inclusive, and accepting of all people. Through our global 'I Belong' campaign and formal Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiative, we amplify the voices of our employees and create spaces where everyone can bring their best selves to work. We are recognized as a leading ambassador for LGBTIQ+ inclusion in the Workplace Pride Global Benchmark, and our board-level oversight of DEI ensures that inclusion remains a strategic priority — not just a policy. When people find where they fit, that's when they're able to be the best version of themselves.
