While change may be part of our DNA, our core values of integrity; innovation and collaboration remain the bedrock of our business.
Our vision is to become an organisation that is respected and valued for Inspiring Solutions and Enduring Legacies. We are proud to be a company that continuously challenges itself while simultaneously building our vision on three strategic pillars: Thought Leadership; Creativity and Excellence without Compromise. Together with our vision and strategic pillars, accountability remains a constant factor.
We continue to re-organise our business around sectors and have appointed sector leads for the main sectors of Retail; Public; Commercial Property; Hotels, Sports and Culture; Transportation; Industrial; Mining & Resources and Infrastructure.
Our sector-led business approach is constructed to deliver the best outcomes for our clients, colleagues and people. Client and colleague satisfaction will be generated by our ability to harness the best talent and skills in Davis Langdon, to deliver on specific projects irrespective of geography.
Thought leadership in the areas of Knowledge, Research, Innovation and Best Practice will be the derivatives of our sector approach. Engage with us on sectors of interest to you, so we can demonstrate our capabilities, even in sectors which you may not traditionally have associated us with.
Africa remains our passion and together with AECOM’s footprint in Africa we are expanding our reach and local knowledge. We continue to develop opportunities through the continent in all sectors, with both local and multi-national clients.
We aim to entrench our role as trusted advisor in Africa and help clients navigate unchartered territory with integrity and respect. Africa remains our key focus for growth and business sustainability.
We continue with our corporate citizen responsibilities and have recently been successfully audited for certification by DEKRA for ISO 14001:2004 and BS OHSAS 18001:2007 international standards which provide both our people and our clients with confidence in the sustainability and safety of our business.
Our BBBEE journey continues, as we have set ourselves a target to continuously improve in all criteria in an effort to maintain and enhance our leading role amongst professionals in the built environment.
Whilst our business has evolved, we continue to offer services that make a measurable difference to the value, cost and time of our clients’ projects.
