Gender Equality at Arcadis Australia Pacific

Arcadis should be an equitable environment for all. Every Arcadian should have the same access to opportunities to grow & achieve their full potential

At Arcadis, diversity isn't merely a goal; it's an integral part of our strength. Aligned with our mission of improving the quality of life, our unwavering commitment to diverse teams and inclusive thinking is seamlessly woven into our culture, client discussions, and the impactful work we pursue. Our strategic aim is clear: achieving over 40% women representation by 2023 and 60% by 2024. Read more here - Clients agree, equal representation is a business priority | Arcadis

Going beyond policies, our dedication extends to creating safe and inclusive urban spaces for women and teenage girls. This not only addresses their specific needs but also positively impacts other vulnerable groups. Urban designs often narrow their focus, leading to inequality. A lack of female representation in urban planning perpetuates social and economic barriers. Design solutions, such as well-lit areas and improved signage, can effectively address safety concerns for women in public spaces. Moreover, considering women's preferences in consumer spaces can enhance economic viability.

By involving women in participatory planning, we aim to create multigender and multigenerational environments, fostering inclusivity and uplifting society. Our goal is clear – to empower cities. Explore our blog on reshaping urban spaces for safety and inclusivity - The Overlooked Half | Arcadis.
