Reimagining what’s possible
Whether it’s restoring our natural environment, delivering low carbon infrastructure whilst increasing resilience, unlocking investment for flood risk management to enhance the wellbeing of communities and local economies or developing the latest industry guidance on coastal modelling to help address the climate emergency – we bring the best minds together to solve our clients’ biggest challenges.
Combining our global expertise with local knowledge, we’re collaborating with the UK government, local authorities, rivers trusts, wildlife trusts and water companies to deliver schemes that empower communities and build resilience.
There’s more to us than you might think
With a global team of over 7,000 dedicated professionals, of which 800 are in the UK, we provide specialist and often unique capabilities to create the innovative solutions required to sustainably manage flooding and coastal erosion in line with habitat creation, to build resilience for the future.
We launched Sustainable Legacies, our transformative ESG strategy to advance sustainability initiatives that deliver positive impact. This strategy integrates four key pillars that will embed sustainable development and resilience across the company’s work, improve social outcomes for communities, achieve net-zero carbon emissions and enhance governance.
