How we're governed

We recognise the value of transparency around organisational governance, how businesses are led and managed, and how stakeholder considerations are reflected in decision making, and our Governance reflect that.

We align our work and our business with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 5 - Gender Equality, 8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth and 16 – Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions which seek to end modern slavery and human trafficking. Our Ethical Conduct Policy and our Business Integrity Code of Practice act in support of this Policy.

Aims

  • To strive for fair and honourable dealings throughout our supply chain and operations.

  • To raise awareness of modern slavery and how it may manifest in our supply chain.

We will

  • Perform due diligence on our supply chain, in line with risk profiling.

  • Provide members with guidance, education, and training.

  • Provide mechanisms for reporting concerns related to modern slavery.

  • Report on our activities and the effectiveness of our measures in an annual Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement. 

Governance

This policy is set by the Arup Group Limited Board and implemented across all Arup operations through policies, procedures, management systems, and learning programs.

  • The policy is reviewed and approved annually, or more frequently if appropriate.

  • The Executive Board is responsible for ensuring that the aims of the policy are achieved, and that we comply with all applicable legal, regulatory, and other requirements
