Sustainability

Our work directly impacts people’s lives. Whether we’re designing a mass transit system in New York City or helping to build a bridge in Hong Kong, the ultimate purpose is to enhance quality of life. 

Because we’re thinkers, planners, and designers, we don’t just look at the short term. We recognize our responsibility to ensure that our designs take long-term social, economic and environmental impacts into account. 

Fusing science, engineering, and design solutions, we work to incorporate sustainability into every project in order to shape a better tomorrow. 

 

In each sector of our business, we have thought leaders who work to devise new and innovative methods of ensuring that the principles of sustainability underpin everything we do. 

But it’s not just in our work for clients that we pursue sustainability. In virtually every AECOM office around the world, local initiatives are in place to encourage the conservation of energy, water and other finite resources. 

Sustainability is integral to AECOM. It’s what we do, and it’s our commitment to the future.

Community

AECOM not only helps to design and build the physical infrastructure that enables people to travel, work and enjoy themselves. We’re also an integral part of the fabric of the communities in which we operate. 

As part of our corporate commitment to society, we have a responsibility to support these communities through funding and volunteer efforts. 

The AECOM Community Trust (ACT) was set up to coordinate our charitable activities worldwide. Chaired by Chief Executive Officer and President John M. Dionisio, the ACT is funded from a special budget based on AECOM’s annual earnings. 

 

Financial support is crucial, but we also encourage our staff to donate their time to community activities. Our talented people have a broad range of professional skills that can be harnessed to benefit others.

Many of our employees are already engaged in community activities: some help out in schools, hospitals and community self-help groups; others are actively engaged in raising funds for their chosen charities.

We support all of these initiatives, because we believe that, as good corporate citizens, we should give back to the communities in which we work and live.
