AECOM is at the forefront of sustainable practices

AECOM's 2024 Sustainability Report highlights the company's ongoing and unwavering commitment to delivering a better world. From providing clients with leading sustainability and resilience-related consulting services to embedding sustainable principles across all aspects of its operations, AECOM is proud of its work to uplift communities and improve lives.

“Over the past year, we’ve made significant progress on various initiatives, placing us at the forefront of sustainable practices. This has not only extended our competitive advantage as industry leaders but also enabled us to lead more comprehensively, delivering for both clients and the communities we serve,” says AECOM's Chief Executive Officer, Troy Rudd.

Committed to embedding sustainability and resilience

Since launching its Sustainable Legacies strategy, AECOM has taken bold action as an enterprise to put sustainability and resilience at the forefront of its business, and to leave a positive and lasting impact on people and the planet, through its work.

"With accelerating investments in global infrastructure, sustainability, and the energy transition, we remain steadfast in our core commitments to continue to embed sustainability and resilience in our project work, improve social outcomes, achieve net-zero emissions, and enhance our governance," shares AECOM President, Lara Poloni.

"To help address the impacts of climate change, our ScopeX approach is identifying opportunities to reduce carbon emissions on our projects. We continue to work with our supply chain partners to decarbonise our own operations, while taking every opportunity to work with diverse businesses to deliver our projects. Through our growing ESG advisory offering, we're sharing our industry-leading expertise to help our clients to progress their own sustainability, resilience, and net-zero plans, with a focus on nature-based solutions, and the opportunities presented by the global energy transition," comments Lara .
