Arup

Arup is a global consultancy that guides, plans and designs the future of the built environment, pairing design and engineering ambition with social purpose since Ove Arup founded the practice in 1946. Today it brings advisory and technical expertise across more than 150 disciplines, working with architects on projects from the Sydney Opera House to Centre Pompidou, the Oresund Link, CCTV Beijing and the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.

Arup’s values trace back to Ove Arup’s 1970 Key Speech, which set out the company’s aims and the principles for achieving them, including the insistence that work be done as well as it can be done. The firm is employee-owned through a trust-based form of ownership and pursues a global decarbonisation strategy designed to reach net zero by 2030.
