At AECOM, sustainability is viewed as a comprehensive concept that involves helping clients and society address complex challenges in adapting to the ever-changing needs of nature and society by managing financial, natural, social and human capital.

“Through this report, our Asia operation provides an example of AECOM’s overall progress in maintaining sustainability as one of our top priorities,” said Gary Lawrence, AECOM vice president and chief sustainability officer.  “I am pleased to see the importance of sustainability being deeply integrated into AECOM’s culture around the globe.”
