At Arcadis diversity, inclusion and belonging is the bedrock of our success.

We recognise that to improve quality of life and create innovative and creative solutions that meet the needs of our clients and society as a whole, we need to embrace diverse perspectives and build working environments where everybody is valued for the person they are and the differences they bring. This can only happen in environments where people feel able to speak up. This is a natural part of being an Arcadian, where we actively encourage and support people to choose to challenge, because each and every one of us can make a positive difference and contribute to a more equal and more respectful world.

At Arcadis, 50% of our Global Executive team are women and we are committed to improving gender representation across all levels in our business. The appointment of a Global Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging Director will further sharpen our focus on building and embedding diverse thinking and inclusive practices across our organisation.

As we do every year, we have a number of initiatives taking place across Arcadis globally in support of International Women’s Day and encourage all Arcadians to play their part in championing gender equality for society's greater good. We must all strive to live in a world where there is gender parity. Only together can we make a difference.
