Our purpose and values

Creating a greener, more inclusive, and productive world.

Turner & Townsend is committed to doing business in the right way – acting in socially responsible ways and focused on the impact that we have on our communities, the environment, and within the industry.

We are driven by our purpose to create a greener, more inclusive, and productive world.

Green

We will be ‘green’ through our choice of clients and industries, through using resources sustainably across all our programs, and through delivering on our Net Zero commitment. We have a responsibility to deliver clean water, clean power, safe housing and more reliable infrastructure.

Inclusive

Our culture embraces and enables diversity in all forms so that our people and our clients can make the most of their potential. We can help to ‘level up’ the world, leading the industry in modern methods of construction to drive better performance and deliver on a scale and speed to help those who need it most.

Productive

We will increase efficiency and effectiveness by challenging the current models, by innovating, by digitally transforming and by honing our approach to set new standards for the industry and the world.

Underpinning our purpose are three core values:

We love a challenge

We work hard to make change happen and challenge ourselves to do better every day.

We are stronger together

Our diverse teams collaborate to focus on what matters and deliver our best work.

We bring out the best in everyone

We help each other to make the most of our potential by learning from our experiences and giving everyone a voice.

These values are inherently inclusive and define the way that we work together as colleagues to make a positive impact on the world around us. This is how we’ve made the difference for 75 years.

Net Zero commitment

We are turning over a new leaf by adopting green technologies and behaviors that will ensure we reach Net Zero by 2030.

Smart working

You’ll find that working for Turner & Townsend is not just about the job. It’s also about maintaining a healthy equilibrium between work and the rest of your life. The time you spend away from work is just as important as what you do in the office.

We also believe that success comes from the relationships you forge with your colleagues and from engaging with the wider community. So, there are various groups within Turner & Townsend that encourage our people to step away from the workplace, connect with others and give something back. At Turner & Townsend, everyone can ‘make the difference’.

Making an impact

Corporate responsibility

As a firm, we are committed to creating opportunities for children and young people from diverse backgrounds to achieve their potential and improve their employability. As a result, there are plenty of opportunities to join one of our Turner & Townsend CR groups to participate in charity events, community activities and fundraising. In fact, we encourage all of our people to support their local communities and, as a business, provide paid volunteering days, pro bono projects and fundraising support for community projects that serve our mission.

STEM ambassadors

The construction industry in the USA faces a skills shortage and we are working to help promote the teaching and understanding of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics – collectively known as STEM subjects. We play our part by partnering with local schools and with the ACE mentoring program. Our STEM ambassadors work with young people to promote the benefits of STEM subjects and the opportunities of a career in the built environment.

Equality, diversity & inclusion (ED&I)

As part of our ED&I commitment, we are ensuring that our people collaborate, learn and grow in a healthy and safe environment that promotes a diverse and inclusive workplace. Together, we are also supporting historically underserved communities and businesses to bring greater diversity and opportunity to our industry.
