Our Values

Values

What do our values mean to us? They underpin everything we do – from the way we work to the way we interact with each other and our clients.

Love a challenge

We love a challenge, and we work hard to make change happen and see things through. We don’t stand still, challenging ourselves and others to do better every day.

And we are trusted to do the right thing, raising standards all the time.

We’re stronger together by connecting people in diverse teams, so that we can all collaborate to deliver our best work. We focus on what matters and use our influence to build a better world for everyone.

Bring out the best in everyone

We bring out the best in everyone. We help each other to make the most of our potential, always learning from our experience. We treat each other with care and respect and make time to give everyone a voice.

Sustainability

Driving sustainable change

We are passionate about making a difference to create a greener, more inclusive, productive world. 

Our ambition is simple: to do business the right way and place our responsibility for our people, clients, communities and environment at the heart of every decision we make. This is underpinned by the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact and we align our approach to the Sustainable Development Goals.


Corporate responsibility performance


We strive for full transparency when measuring and monitoring our performance.


 We are continuing to build on our commitment to transparent reporting across environment, social and governance (ESG) matters, to drive improvements in our business. We align to all relevant frameworks and ESG disclosures most material to our business.

Our annual corporate responsibility report


This year we made significant progress against our goals. Our latest corporate responsibility report aligns with legislative standards and all material ESG topics.


Environmental


We are committed to shaping a more sustainable built environment and addressing the climate emergency.


We are integrating sustainability into every part of our business and transitioning into a low-carbon economy. This includes improving the environmental management of our own operations while using our expertise to find relevant solutions for our clients across every sector.

Turning over a new leaf: our commitment to net zero


In June 2021, we launched our NewLeaf strategy, our long-term programmatic approach to meet our target of becoming net zero across our global business. 


Since setting this commitment, new guidance has been published against which we have realigned our targets and ambitions. Our new strategy will see us become net zero by 2040, reducing our emissions by 90% in that time. To support this, we have developed four key work streams to take practical steps to address our footprint as we grow.

Our environmental policy


Our environmental policy outlines our ambition to reduce our environmental impact. This builds on our commitments to climate action, responsible consumption and building sustainable cities and communities in accordance with UN Sustainable Development Goals 11, 12 and 13.


Acting on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s warning about the increasing complexity around risk, in 2023 we further improved our approach to climate risk management by adopting more robust risk assessment methodologies.


Social


We are committed to building a fairer society through community partnerships, boosting economies and creating a diverse and inclusive working culture.


We are passionate about creating opportunities for our people and for the next generation of future leaders. Over the last five years, we have forged strong links with schools, colleges and universities, and their surrounding communities to promote careers in our sector.

Putting communities first, removing barriers to education 


Inequality continues to be a major challenge globally. We believe our industry must be at the forefront of building a more sustainable and equitable future.


Working with our partners, we place the needs of local communities at the heart of our projects and programmes worldwide. As we grow, we continue to invest in our education and employment programmes, opening access to opportunity, one young person at a time. We focus on United Nations Sustainable Goal 4, Quality Education.

Our Making the Difference Fund scales up our support to causes which cut across borders and generate new long-term, collaborative opportunities.
