CEO Message

From our earliest days, partnerships have been at our core. Partnering—with one another, with our clients, and with our communities—is vital to how we work. Because we know that when we bring together diverse people, ideas, and perspectives, we achieve more. Although our approach remains firmly focused on partnerships, something has changed significantly: the nature of the world’s challenges.

Climate change adaptation and mitigation continue to grow in importance. Generational changes are shifting society’s focus toward equity and well-being. Communities are urbanising. Emerging technology and the digital revolution are rapidly changing how we solve problems. Across the globe, economies are looking for secure sources of food and energy and near-shoring manufacturing capacity, all while managing affordability concerns.

Our purpose—empowering people to rise to the world’s greatest challenges—speaks to today’s reality. Our promise—with every community, we redefine what’s possible—inspires us to think beyond what’s been done before. Complex problems demand creative solutions, which in turn, provide us with distinct opportunities. Opportunities to bring people and ideas together. Opportunities to innovate. To blend our expertise with technology, so we improve how and what we offer clients and communities. Because when they succeed, we succeed.
