CSR Profile of Arup

Our founder, Sir Ove Arup, was an engineer and philosopher who believed in integrating environmental stewardship and social purpose into all our projects. Since 1946, Arup has evolved into a firm that combines superior technical and financial advice to premier public and private clients that are planning for a more sustainable future. We draw on expertise from over 10,000 engineers, economists, planners, environmentalists, scientists and specialists based in 37 countries around the world. Combining all of these disciplines "under one roof" promotes integrated, innovative solutions to the world's most complex problems in the built environment and industry.

A global leader in the field of sustainability, Arup is experienced in developing sustainability strategies and techniques, metrics for evaluation of performance, tools for assessment of projects and organizations. Additionally, we work with clients to alleviate the two greatest barriers to implementing sustainability strategies - financing and governance. We work at a variety of scales, from projects to corporations to government and industry. Through our policy and planning work, we have helped entire industry sectors, cities and regions optimize resources, achieve their greatest potential and move towards more sustainable outcomes. At Arup, our statement "We Shape a Better World" is more than a slogan: It defines our purpose.
