We are committed to advancing equity, diversity and inclusion (ED&I) within AECOM and our industry. We are open-minded and welcoming of various points of view—diversity of thought and ideas is what ultimately contributes to better outcomes for our clients and the communities we serve.
We’re ensuring, through our recruitment efforts, that our teams reflect the diverse communities we serve, holding leaders accountable for our commitments and partnering with nonprofit organisations and universities to build a diverse talent pipeline for the future.
We’re encouraging respect and empathy among employees through ERGs, ED&I events and celebrations, unconscious bias and inclusive hiring training, and family-friendly benefit policies.
We’re supporting communities through pro bono work, volunteerism, philanthropy and strategic partnerships.
We’re prioritising social equity and impact in every project we pursue and in every innovative solution we deliver.
Our employee resource groups (ERGs) help strengthen the connections between us and the communities we serve. They provide rich opportunities for the exchange of ideas and powerful dialogue, professional networking and development, talent attraction and philanthropic impact.
Our Americas ERG program was recognised with a Business Achievement Award from the Environmental Business Journal. The award acknowledged the ERG program for creating a sense of belonging and generating an inclusive environment at AECOM in support of our equity, diversity and inclusion pledge: When we feel free to be ourselves, we thrive.
Our Ethnic Diversity Network ERG received a “highly commended” recognition for Outstanding Employee Resource Group in the European Diversity Awards, which recognise individuals and organisations whose outstanding leadership has made a genuine difference to the equality, diversity and inclusion agenda.
