Arup Select language: EN Our values and purpose Arup’s shared values, like our firm’s name, are derived from the beliefs and convictions of our founder, the engineer and philosopher Sir Ove Arup. Sir Ove believed work was only valuable when it had something higher to strive for. We continue to embody that idea – that our work is truly profitable when it shapes a better world. Today, across the world, our people use their skills and expertise to help us reach for greater goals. Our decisions and actions are intended to produce safe, inclusive and resilient communities, infrastructure and cities. We also recognise that sustainable development encompasses many different factors. So, our work also prioritises environmental regeneration, biodiversity, conservation of resources, stable economic growth and social progress. Equal. Diverse. Inclusive. We believe in fair treatment for all. As an ever-growing worldwide community of talented practitioners, the diversity of our people is central to our success.

One way we demonstrate usefulness is by pursuing projects, initiatives and partnerships which improve the lives of those most in need.
