Atkins expands its environmental services 

Atkins, a member of the SNC-Lavalin Group, has announced the expansion and scope of its environmental services in response to the demand for more sustainable infrastructure and nature-based solutions.

The move will see its environment practice expand by 50 per cent by 2025, and five new service lines introduced, to tackle the key challenges of climate change resilience and global pressures for demand on resources.

These include:

• nature-based solutions;
• valuing a sustainable future,;
• carbon advisory;
• planning and consenting; and 
• sustainability and climate resilience.

Dr Victoria Hutchinson, environment practice director at Atkins, said: “By finding new ways of looking at value we can help rebalance communities, create more opportunity for under-represented groups to participate in the economy, and identify nature-positive ways of stimulating growth. This should mean that overall we invest in infrastructure that creates better outcomes for communities and the environment.”
