NEIL C. McARTHUR
CEO and chairman
of the Executive Board
Arcadis N.V.
Our passion is to improve quality
of life and be recognized by you,
our valued clients, shareholders,
colleagues and partners, as
simply the best organization of
our type in the world today.
Our clients tell us that the
challenges they face call for
their business partners to adapt
and innovate. To bring their best
ideas and expertise across a wide
range of professional services,
OUR CLIENTS TELL US THAT THE
CHALLENGES THEY FACE CALL FOR
THEIR BUSINESS PARTNERS TO
ADAPT AND INNOVATE...
disciplines and geographies to
create exceptional and
sustainable outcomes for their
business, safely.
Over the past two years, we have
invested heavily to meet these
evolving client needs.
Having identified nine global
‘mega trends’ that we believe
will substantially impact our
clients in the future, be they
multi-national corporations or
more local or national clients,
we purposefully reviewed how
we combine our leading-edge
capabilities to design 18 core
value propositions that serve
our clients’ needs.
We have expanded our global
account management teams and
positioned our leading global
experts to lead proposition
delivery across the world,
ensuring that we bring the very
best of Arcadis to every client
project:
• big or small, local or global;
• across both natural and
built assets.
Furthermore, we have aligned
our global and regional operating
models to facilitate innovation,
ease knowledge transfer and
enable the sharing of best
practices. Through the use
of Global Design Centers of
Excellence, we ensure clients
have access to our best
resources, delivering the most
appropriate solutions, at a cost
that meets their requirements.
We are already seeing this
approach bear fruit and are
privileged to apply our global
capabilities to some of the most
iconic, complex and rewarding
projects and programs of work
in the world today.
This document aims to give
you a flavor of some of the
things we are doing to deliver
exceptional and sustainable
outcomes from our clients’
investment in natural and
built assets; the propositions,
the projects and the impact
on our clients’ objectives. We
provide an introduction to the
exceptional talent and people
that comprise Arcadis and are
the lifeblood of our future. A
high-level overview of Arcadis
is also provided and I would
refer you to our website (www.
arcadis.com) for more detailed
information.
I would love to hear how you
think we are doing, as well as
any further information on
the projects, propositions or
solutions in this document.
Please feel free to contact me.
In closing, I would like to thank
all our key stakeholders: our
clients for their trust, our people
for all their hard work and our
shareholders for their continued
support so that together as
Arcadis we can deliver on our
passion to Improve Quality of Life.
