The greatest challenges of our time require both pragmatism and hope. In a new TEDx talk, our Americas Region Chair Fiona Cousins discusses how design can address the interconnected nature of climate change, human impact on natural systems and social justice. "How do we honor our humanity by working to keep the planet livable for everyone, keeping our societies intact and our mental health from fraying through grief and helplessness? How do we action our hope?"
We are proud to announce that Arup has received a score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index (CEI) for the third year in a row! The Corporate Equality Index is an annual assessment of workplace equity for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) people, as the nation’s foremost benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ+ workplace equity. This year, Arup joins 545 major US businesses that also earned top marks. Top-rated employers took concrete steps to establish and implement comprehensive policies, benefits, and practices that ensure greater equity for LGBTQ+ workers and their families. The detailed rating criteria fall under these four central pillars: Non-discrimination policies across business entities, equitable benefits for LGBTQ+ workers and their families, supporting an inclusive culture, corporate social responsibility. Our firm deeply values the diversity of our membership. We aim to create and contribute to equitable spaces and systems as well as foster an inclusive culture where everyone has a sense of belonging and feels comfortable showing up as themselves.
We are excited to announce that Arup has been selected as one of the 2023 Mentorloop Impact Award winners. The award shines a light on the program coordinators and the mentoring program itself, that have made mentoring more accessible across Arup. Every year, the Impact Awards showcases companies that make mentoring accessible for their people, organization, and community. Our program was awarded because of our firm’s push for mentorship, our memberships participation, the engagement and satisfaction from our members, and the overall impact it has had.
