Our impact

We're passionate about contributing positively to our communities, everywhere we operate. It's an essential part of delivering excellence.  

That's why we seek opportunities to add value for our clients and their communities on every project, and engage with people to open opportunities beyond the scope of our commissioned work. 

In both our work for clients and the activities we support as part of our corporate responsibility, we use our social outcomes framework, addressing accessibility, inclusion, empowerment, resilience and wellbeing. 

And we support our people who volunteer their energy and skill to causes that matter to them and us – for example, by providing them with flexibility and time within working hours, as well as helpful resources and financial support. 

In 2023, we became the first engineering company to be awarded the Social Value Management Certificate by Social Value International, a global business network. 

We also deliver a positive impact by:  

• Supporting initiatives to open up professional pathways to careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics for underrepresented and vulnerable groups. 

• Coaching and mentoring underprivileged and marginalised people to find work suited to their skills. 
• Helping communities to adapt, prepare for and respond to crises, including climate change. 
• Ensuring our approach to wellbeing encompasses that of our own people and the wellbeing of wider society too.
