• Alongside increasing investment in its people and innovation, the Company achieved strong financial performance that exceeded expectations on every key financial metric.
• Advancing its leading position for environmental, social and governance (ESG) related services, the Company launched its Sustainable Legacies strategy to embed sustainable development and resilience across the company’s work, improve social outcomes for communities, achieve net-zero carbon emissions, and enhance its governance. Additionally, the Company published its first global ESG report in November 2021 that further details the substantive ESG initiatives within its operations.
