Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility at AECOM

Healthy societies depend on physical, environmental and social infrastructure to advance economic opportunity, protect our environment and improve lives. AECOM raises the standard for sustainability practices in both our internal operations and the delivery of services.
Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond meeting clients’ requirements and complying with regulations at the local, state, provincial or national levels.

Whether we’re reducing greenhouse gas emissions, developing new ways to conserve water or promoting renewable energy, our commitment to sustainability drives innovation, resiliency, reduces risk and provides attractive project life cycle returns on investment.

Environmental Sustainability

Three of the top 10 risks that will affect world development over the next 10 years are environmental: water crises, failure of climate-change adaptation and biodiversity loss. [World Economic Forum – Insight Report: Global Risks 2015]
