Who We Are

Core values

As a global company, we are committed to three core values in everything we do:

• Integrity: we do business in an honest way, to the highest professional standards, being a reliable partner and treating others with respect;
• Entrepreneurship: we take initiatives and develop business opportunities that create value and use our resources in the best interest of our clients;
• Agility: we react fast to changing market conditions, are responsive to the needs of our clients and colleagues and are eager to perform.

In addition to these core values, we consider Sustainability to be of eminent importance to the way we work. This permeates our thinking and activities in order to provide solutions that can keep our planet livable for future generations.

International network based on home market positions

ARCADIS is unique in its global network based on home market positions in Europe, the United States and South America. The strong local presence allows us to maintain long-lasting relationships with clients and to understand local conditions. The international network enables us to leverage expertise across the globe and to service multinational customers looking for service providers whocan help them globally.

One firm philosophy

We operate across our network as a single firm. We foster a culture of team spirit and internal collaboration focused on creating synergies, by leveraging our extensive client relationships and our wealth of expertise.

Active in the entire value chain

ARCADIS provides services along the entire value chain, with a focus on services with high added value. By operating on a client basis, rather than a project basis, we become involved in developments as early as possible. During the contracting phase of projects we provide construction management services. When we deliver turnkey projects, this is based on our technical and project management skills.

Our clients

We work for a broad range of clients in the public and private sectors.

In Infrastructure most of our work is for governments: municipalities, cities, provinces, states, water boards, ministries, etc. We also work for utilities, project developers, contractors and other private sector firms.

In Environment we do a lot of work for the private sector, including the oil and gas industry, chemical industry and transportation sector. Many of the Fortune 500 companies are longstanding clients. We alsowork for governments; from federal clients (such as the U.S. Department of Defense) to municipal customers.

In Buildings we mainly work for owners, managers, operators and developers of real estate, both in the public and private sectors.

Strategy to build global leadership

Our ambition is to be a leading global player in each of our three main business lines. The key elements to achieve this ambition are:

• Client focus: building meaningful long-term relationships based on valueadded thinking and actions;
• Seamless delivery: delivering our services across the globe with consistent high quality;
• One firm' approach: making the strength of our collective knowledge and experience available to every individual project;
• Focus on higher value services: assisting our clients with services that add value in achieving their key objectives.

Demand for our services is driven by key themes in society, such as sustainability, climate change, urban renewal, mobility, water and energy. These create ample opportunities for long-term growth. Our strong local presence, long-term client relationships and in-depth know-how position us well to benefit from these trends.
