How is Arcadis structured?
In January 2022, we transitioned from a country-led operating model, to collaborate across borders in four global business areas - Resilience, Places, Mobility, and Intelligence. The aim is to enable us to better work together to bring focus and the best of Arcadis’ collective expertise from around the world to help serve the changing needs of our clients, regardless of where they are located.
The Resilience GBA focuses on services and solutions to protect, adapt and improve our natural environment and water resources, while sustainably powering our world for future generations.
With climate change, biodiversity loss and water scarcity presenting some of the greatest challenges to humanity, we provide holistic and actionable sustainable solutions for our clients, building on our heritage and expertise in energy transition, climate adaption, environmental remediation and PFAS removal schemes, and clean water management.
Resilience
The Places business area is focused on creating smart and sustainable places for owners, investors, users and communities across the real estate sector.
The construction and operation of buildings generates up to 40% of annual global greenhouse gas emissions and one of Arcadis’ priorities is to help clients reduce carbon over the full lifecycle of an asset. This business area works closely with our design and architecture practice, CallisonRTKL, to develop innovative, future- facing solutions for the places in which we live, work, play, learn, and the transport hubs critical to keep the world moving.

Global Environmental Health and Safety Compliance
Confidential Financial Institutions, Global – 45 countries
Arcadis' client is a global banking organization that has locations in 45 countries. The challenge was to initially assess the level of Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) related compliance in the global workplace and work with Facilities management teams to develop a system that manages these risks but that can be monitored from a central control team.
Arcadis worked with the facilities managers in various locations to instigate a program of self-assessments, developed by Arcadis, and offered training to meet this goal. This risk management approach enabled the production of compliance scores and control plans which fitted into the established Facilities management practices.
This was coupled with on-site visits at various locations by Arcadis EHS experts to verify data and begin the implementation of an EHS management system.
Arcadis developed a web-based management tool which allows location managers to view compliance events and provide necessary documentation to show controls are in place, as well as allowing a central management team to continually monitor. Procedures and processes were developed by Arcadis to control the identified risks.
Key Challenges
To assess and manage environmental and safety risks associated with a corporate workplace environment.
•
Innovation/Best Practice

HSE Assessment and Regulatory Requirements
Global automobile supplier – 28 Countries
The global automobile supplier operates in approximately 28 countries broken into three (3) key operating regions (Americas, Europe and Asia‐Pacific).
The HSE program had operated mostly on a regional basis in the past and the client’s goal was to implement a global program, providing consistency with corporate requirements. It was recognized however that regional practices would need to be taken into account for the successful implementation of the program.
To assist with accomplishing these goals, the client’s Corporate Environmental, Health & Safety Department established Health Safety & Environmental Compliance Audit and Inspection Programs to evaluate performance. On a minimum annual basis, an environmental or health & safety audit or inspection is conducted at each site.
Our Approach
Arcadis, in cooperation with the client, developed the HSE assessment program including all regulatory and corporate requirements.The program included auditor training modules to ensure consistency across the program.
Arcadis developed an assessment dashboard to display the status of the program at global, regional, and increased levels of detail.
Outcomes Achieved
Effective site engagement and ensuring that the Client’s employees work in condition that exceed Global Health and Safety requirements;
Access to latest HSE Protocols: both contemporaneous and forecast legislative compliance intelligence;
Ensured that the Client realized scale economies and efficiencies that are available via the use of single integrated HSE audit solution;
A sustainable delivery model: our solution was designed to use an efficient operating model for the sustainable use of resources, with minimal impact on day-to-day operations and site resources; and
Utilizing our industry experience in Environmental Management Information Systems (EMIS), we developed a digital platform to efficiently manage resources and audit logistics, audit status, data capture, management and issue escalation.

Digital EHS&S Implementation
Confidential Aerospace Client
Harmonizing and aligning EHS&S strategy, processes and software can unlock new potential. For one of the world’s leading aerospace companies, a disparate system of tools across hundreds of sites made managing enterprise risk more complex than it needed to be.
The organization recognized that an integrated EHS&S management information system (EMIS) would push operational efficiency and safety to new heights. Software selection was only a piece of the puzzle, though. The organization wanted a comprehensive digital roadmap that went beyond software selection to innovate processes and maximize EHS&S performance.
Our Digital EHS&S team implemented and deployed a highly configured digital EHS&S solution, including process alignment, end user engagement and training, change management, governance, data migration and system integration, documentation and more.
Key Challenges
An aerospace leader wanted to harmonize a disparate system containing hundreds of Digital EHS&S tools on one platform to maximize EHS&S performance and safety capabilities, as well as “core” up their global Environmental, Health and Safety functions across hundreds of sites.
•
Engaging the workforce directly propelled adoption and collaboration on the new digital EHS&S solution, providing significant cost savings, process alignment and improvements, risk reduction and career opportunities for the company’s EHS team.
Outcomes Achieved
300+ EHS&S tools consolidated
180,000 EMIS end users

Regulatory Compliance
Arcadis helps our clients reduce regulatory and operational risk through the implementation of programs and systems modeled on global best practices and ISO standards. We have seen the regulatory environment constantly changing, and the number of new and/or revisions in regulations is multiplying rapidly. Maintaining regulatory compliance in such adynamic environment is challenging and resource intensive.
By analyzing potential consequences of proposed regulations, and by comparing different options, a regulatory impact analysis will provide a methodological framework and an administrative procedure to improve regulatory management and compliance. When properly conducted, the impact analysis will systematically assess the impact likely to arise from current and proposed regulations.
With information technology, we organize, track, automate and archive regulatory compliance and reporting activities. Our experts assist in selecting and implementing the appropriate system to meet our client’s needs and can design the system to be flexible so that it can adapt as requirements change. The result is a cost-effective environmental management plan that avoids regulatory enforcement and minimizes long-term liability — and ultimately raises the level of comfort with regulatory compliance status.
Arcadis is actively involved with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) as voting members of several Technical Advisory Groups (TAGs) which provide Arcadis representatives the opportunity to influence the creation and development of management system documents. This provides us with cutting-edge ISO knowledge of the accepted interpretations of ISO Standards, and bring that awareness to our clients.
EHS Inspections and Auditing

Arcadis brings a multidisciplinary approach to EDD projects depending on the nature of the transaction, often including Phase I ESAs, Limited EHS Compliance Assessments, Corporate Liability Risk Assessments, Product Stewardship Assessments, and/or ESG Assessments.
Invest Smart Platform
Supporting you through the investment journey, we developed InvestSmart – the digital dashboard for real estate due diligence analysis. InvestSmart is a digital dashboard that real estate investors can use to request all their due diligence analysis from multiple providers to receive real-time results at one central place – it is easy to combine findings and use Arcadis benchmark data to make decisions. Our clients benefit from time savings through a single instance of inputting key information that can be shared with colleagues and third parties, quick access to due diligence services providers and shorten delivery timelines, fast insights through benchmark data and automatic calculations for key figures. This in turn saves money by reducing the number of interfaces and effort in executing transactions.
Health and Safety
We improve overall safety performance through the development and implementation of best-in-class safety processes and systems, including: safety management systems, safety culture evaluation and improvement, process safety assessments and fire and safety audits. We Identify and manage risks to protect employees, the public, the environment and built assets.

Arcadis’ Certified Industrial Hygienists (CIHs) and Certified Safety Professionals (CSPs) provide a full range of industrial hygiene services designed to protect employees, manage risks and reduce costs. By identifying compliance issues and implementing corrective measures before employee exposure or regulatory action occurs, Arcadis helps optimize efficiency and reduce liability.
Indoor Air Quality
Arcadis conducts indoor air quality surveys to evaluate airborne contaminants that may be contributing factors to poor air quality within office environments. Arcadis uses NIOSH-/ OSHA- recommended approaches and employs state-of-the-art technology to identify and quantify chemical and biological agents in industrial and office environments.

Future of EHS – Driving towards Excellence
Arcadis combines EHS best practices with advanced tools and technologies to create a new reality – a reality defined by simplicity, consistency, speed and streamlined delivery.
We help clients proactively manage their EHS priorities by using information as an asset. We integrate people, process and technology through enterprise EHS management of information systems (EMIS) to help clients manage risk, maintain compliance and increase efficiency. We use a wide variety of digital data collection and management processes which allow for increased efficiency in the recording and transcribing on-site observations be it related to audit, compliance or sustainable operations.
Using technology and tools supported by handheld devices or VR/AR technology, our field staff can contact a remotely located subject matter expert to discuss site issues or observations. We also collect data from remote sites or geographies, faster, using FAA-certified and insured small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS).
We design, develop and rely on easy to understand, visual and intuitive digital assets to move from hindsight to insight through lean, flexible, scalable and product agnostic enablement. Diagnostics and drill down capabilities highlighting risk and opportunity putting client stakeholders in control
The Assurance Integrator
Arcadis have also developed The Assurance Integrator, it is a practical and proven integrated governance methodology to integrate processes, resources, and data across business silos. Our methodology improves collaboration, resulting in an increased ability to identify risk, analyze multicriteria consequences and their likelihood of materializing, and reduce the cost of overall efforts to manage risk.
Assurance Integrator:
Standardized assurance process
Risk-based assurance scheduling
Data and protocol harmonization
Standardized findings and corrective actions
Assurance resource efficacy
Data management and analytics
Uniform dashboards, reporting, and trend analysis
Assurance that operational risk is being effectively managed with a reduction in audit time of 40%. This lowered support function costs and, by minimizing operational interruptions, increased manufacturing production. The reduction in compliance costs was approximately 25% (approximately $300,000/year).
Arcadis have successfully built and executed global audit programs across a variety of sectors including food manufacture, automotive manufacture and global banking/financial institutions.
*The Bradley Curve™ analyzes the progressive maturity of a safety culture by looking at a spectrum of behaviors and mindsets that range from reactive, where no real safety measures are in place, to a team-oriented or interdependent mindset.
Using an Assurance Integrator process, Arcadis has standardized processes, eliminated redundancies, and harmonized data to streamline the audit process for multiple business functions (e.g., H&S and sustainability), minimized facility disruptions, reduced costs, and improved the processes that manage risk, with emphasis on continual improvement, compliance, resilience, and sustainability.
Arcadis works with our clients to improve safety culture, as part of the audit outcomes. As detailed above we look to mitigate risk and support continued improvement, but we also look to improve the overall H&S Culture. A move from the ‘reactive’ position ‘I have to do this’ to a more forward-thinking approach ‘ we want to’
and a sense of ownership and personal responsibility. The Bradley Curve TM represents
the move to a more independent/interdependant safety culture that we would
expect to see our Client shift to with our integrated audit approach.

Digital Maturity Modeling
We know that Digital H&S is not just about big data or software.
It is about using information as an asset and providing insights and efficiencies throughout the business, while keeping the focus on people and productivity. At Arcadis, we never lose sight of the human element behind the technology. We recognize that user adoption will be the ultimate deciding factor for Digital H&S success, which is why our services focus on personal interaction, complemented by, not replaced with, digital tools.
We empower our clients to move from reactive “sense & respond” management to proactive “predict and act” performance management frameworks. Insights, data-driven actions, peer group benchmarking, predictions and prescriptions enabled by digital will not only support identification of areas of risk and opportunity within your enterprise, but also determine pathways for transformative action.
Market Outlook

Innovation / Best Practice
Arcadis surveyed the industry and was able to benchmark the client against its peers, allowing for deep insight into their current performance and potential room for growth. This understanding coupled with Arcadis subject matter expertise resulted in a suite of recommendations to the client for wholesale changes in governance and EHS programs. Recommendations were only the start, as Arcadis was contracted in a “program management office” advisory capacity to help implement important changes, working hand-in-hand with top client leadership.
Concurrently, Arcadis performs dozens of environmental compliance audits for the client globally, utilizing a strong pre-audit process to ensure timely scheduling and completion of audits with clear deliverables and recommendations for finding closure. Arcadis’ strong track record and global expertise led also to a large compliance assurance and digital transformation project that focused on compiling environmental regulatory compliance obligations for each client site and advising on potential digital solutions for integrated governance of EHS programs.

Compliance Assurance Program with Phase 0 Digital Strategy and Roadmapping
Confidential Global Chemical Company
Key Challenges
The client has multiple sites globally that currently complete their environmental reporting, and compliance obligations via multiple systems, spreadsheets and manual processes. The process and structure of reporting, and compliance is not transparent to the corporate leadership due to the largely disparate systems and processes in place. Furthermore, the need to compile and collect data for sustainability and net zero goals require a system that would allow for auditability and data transparency.
Innovation / Best Practice
Arcadis is conducting a thorough Compliance Assurance Program evaluation, utilizing a custom template to incorporate all EHS&S compliance requirements, policies and procedures across over 50 sites globally, with local specialized resources; conducting a Phase 0 assessment of the current systems in place at all identified sites to compile a detailed "Current State" profile of systems and processes in place. This will be completed by on-site workshops, and the use of Accelerated Requirements Document (ARDs). Based upon the findings of the workshops and ARDs, a vendor selection process will be completed utilizing demo scripts and an RFP process to determine best fit for the "Future State" requirements outlined
in the ARDs, as well as the roadmap and compliance requirements identified during the compliance review and compilation process. Refinement of current compliance requirements both from a top-down corporate needs base, as well as bottom -up site specific requirements will be evaluated for final content development for the selected system.

Environment, Health and Safety (EHS&S) Assessment
Confidential Client, US, Canada, Mexico, China, India, and Netherlands
Key Challenges
The client faced several challenges, such as decentralized EHS&S enterprise operating/governance model, lack of EHS&S compliance assurance, few standard EHS&S processes, limited EHS&S resources/competency, and fragmented EHS&S reporting tools/reporting.
The client trusted Arcadis to assess EHS&S compliance, risks, and best practices across their global business. Our scope included the following: Assessing significant existing and potential compliance risks; Identifying gaps from recognized management system frameworks; Identifying significant best practices that could be leveraged; Addressing overall global governance model and Identifying compliance risk and cost reduction opportunities.
Innovation / Best Practice
We worked with key stakeholders to design a data gathering template that identified the most important areas of risks and gaps to be addressed under the project. Once developed, we interviewed each of the 17 global manufacturing plants to collect key information aimed at determining whether essential elements were in place to support its EHS&S Mission. Those key areas were Compliance, Risk, Resources, Costs, and Management Systems.
Together with the client, we defined specific objectives for each key area and then evaluated sites against those objectives and interviews/sites visits.
Based on the information collected and observations made during the site visits, we analyzed the data to determine key gaps and made recommendations for improvement. Operational leaders confirmed recommendations which we subsequently presented to the Executive Leadership Group for approval. We focused our recommendations on resources, governance, management system framework, and key tools needed to support the overall EHS&S management system. The Client accepted our recommendations were accepted and implementation began the following year and is ongoing.

As part of this project, the team identified all potentially applicable federal and local air regulations and systematically determined and documented positive and negative applicability. For each regulation (at a citation level) and condition of the consent decree, the following items were documented:
The team also worked directly with environmental managers to facilitate implementation of the compliance system. Using Microsoft Excel and Access, in addition to the site’s email system, the team documented the completion of each task, including results, necessary follow-ups and action items.
Finally, the team developed “compliance strategy” documents to provide refinery plant personnel with an abbreviated tailored document to identify specific requirements by affected equipment and sources at the facility. These documents provided a summary of each applicable federal regulation in a concise, reader-friendly format to communicate requirements to plant personnel who were not familiar with environmental regulations. These requirements included monitoring, testing, record-keeping, reporting, emission limits, controls and compliance deadlines associated with equipment specific to each unit of the refinery, as applicable.

Harmonizing and aligning EHS&S strategy, processes and software unlocked new potential. Disparate system of tools across hundreds of sites made managing enterprise risk more complex than it needed to be.
The client recognized that an integrated EHS&S management information system (EMIS) would push operational efficiency and safety to new heights. The organization wanted a comprehensive digital roadmap that went beyond software selection to innovate processes and maximize EHS&S performance.
Our Digital EHS&S team implemented and deployed a highly configured digital EHS&S solution, including process alignment, end user engagement and training, change management, governance, data migration, system integration, documentation and more.
The centralization unlocked the following benefits:
How aligned decision making and enterprise-wide harmonization of processes, systems occurs with global healthcare product product company
Arcadis has been providing EHS and program management services to the client and their various businesses over many years now. The client is now less centralized than they were in the past, almost adopting an integrated governance structure, emulating the benefits of centralization despite their hybrid EHS model – which affords flexibility especially in a heavy M&A world, with centralization at corporate EHS level, setting policy procedure etc. with the facility level driving compliance and procedural execution.
Client Need
We recently supported J&J deliver overall vision and strategy for program execution through a joint governance approach for managing 350 Office EHS Compliance / Fire Safety/ FM Operational Readiness Assessments enabled through a technology stack called Digital Powerpack.
Problem Solved
With centralized insights on a single reporting platform on audit risk and opportunity, and aligned process on audit scheduling, pre-assessment, corrective action and closed loop feedback – we enabled the client’s strong focus on global consistency and customer business unit and created alignment to be fast, efficient and connected with global standards, protocols and metrics that are aligned with EHS organization.
Strategic decisions on audit outcomes / trends were made at the corporate level with business input (e.g., EHS Steering Teams).
Businesses (regions / segments / operating units) were empowered with insight and held accountable for regional / facility level compliance from audit feedback.
Client Outcomes
20% Improvement in audit completion timelines for 350 offices in global portfolio

Job Hazard Analyses
Arcadis’ industrial hygienists perform Job Hazard Analysis (JHAs) and consider all aspects of job/work tasks, including process design, procedures, personal protective equipment (PPE) and training requirements. Arcadis defines the major tasks of each process; identifies the physical and chemical hazards associated with each step; defines the PPE required; defines the required training; and recommends procedures or process/equipment modifications to minimize or mitigate hazards.
Construction Safety
Construction projects require reliable, efficient field and safety services in order to properly investigate pre-construction conditions and then monitor, inspect and verify safe and compliant delivery of a constructed outcome. Arcadis’ trained and highly experienced field and construction safety resources, along with established vendor/supplier relationships, are available when and where clients need them to fully support construction projects.
Compliance Support
Arcadis offers on-site or remote health and safety support to help clients achieve compliance. We assist in developing H&S programs, trainings, and procedures; provide expert analyses of current site conditions; and support with immediate actions to remedy health and safety needs.

We apply nature-based solutions to supplement or replace civil engineered approaches, with more room for the rivers, strengthening of coastlines with multifunctional & hybrid flood protection and climate resilient ports.
In the urban environment we design nature-based solutions to reduce peak flows, store water and reduce the impact of urban heat, droughts, water scarcity and wildfires. Sustainability, inclusion and equity sit at the heart of our practice when it comes to mitigating impacts on communities and ecosystems, improving quality of live.

Net Zero Buildings
•
Value Propositions
A net zero building is simply a building that has no net carbon emissions during its construction and operation. Emissions are reduced and what's leftover is balanced by renewable energy or carbon offsets. Threee main categories that are assessed to evaluate the operational and embodied carbon: net zero operation, net zero construction, net zero in whole life carbon, Arcadis helps these clients by an integral approach for cost effective net zero retrofit solutions.
Net Zero Industry Buildings
This is a specific subsect of Net Zero buildings that focuses on industry specific buildings, like datacenters, warehouses and other industrial facilities, that present particular and different challeneges when it comes to making them net zero.
•
Sustainable Hubs
Clients are increasingly asking for create new stations and terminals to be built according to Net Zero principles, but also requesting net zero retrofit services for existing hubs. The complex nature of these buildings gives opportunuty to increase green systems and give more quality for sustainable communities by increaseing new functions besides transport.
•
Sustainable Cities & Districts
New sustainable cities, districts and urban developments does not just mean cities with Net Zero buildings. It means Healthy Cities based on sustainable systems like for water, ecologies, mobility, energy, and more, all of which are based on the circular economy. Local communities with local solutions for jobs, health, food etc. We understand that this new perspective of waht a city should be requires us to rethink the boundaries of what our projects typically have been - in order to provide the best solution. "Collaboration and an early integral approach are key."

New Chemical Regular Registration
Confidential Global Leading Producer of Highly Engineered Advanced Materials
Key Challenges
The clients have two suppliers in China who produce a magnetic powder which is categorized as a new chemical in China. The regular registration requires more data and strict expert evaluation, and the testing period is long. The key challenges faced include developing declaration plan, selection of testing laboratory, test tracking until obtaining qualified test report, and reparation of declaration dossier and risk assessment report.
Innovation / Best Practice
Based on QSAR prediction analysis and data retrieval, we developed a compressive and reasonable declaration plan and testing proposal to follow, which made the whole process smoothly.
Arcadis conducted all the tasks as expected in the plan in a professional and effective way.
The tests of the lab are well tracked to ensure tests are performed as the plan and obtain qualified test reports.
Outcomes
The test results are consistent with the expectations, and all test items have been carried out according to the plan and achieved the expected goals.
The test projects and registration form development are arranged reasonably, ensuring comprehensive coverage of all key functions and scenarios.
Regular reporting and communication with the client are conducted to ensure smooth project progress and reduce communication time and misunderstandings.
Through effective project management, problems encountered in the project are resolved in a timely manner to ensure the smooth progress of the project.
High recognition from the client on our professional work
