Policies and ethics
We are on a mission to secure sustainable progress for society through excellence in project delivery and organic growth, developing solutions for a better, more equal and stable world. We do this by living our values: Listen, learn and deliver. Living our values is a key differentiator for our organisation. The NIRAS Fundamentals help us stay on the right track and ensure that we share common goals in why, how and what we do.
Ethical business practices and accountability to our customers, employees and society are integral to our corporate values and the way we work. We take our responsibility for addressing climate change and protecting the environment very seriously, both in the services we offer and in the way we operate our business. NIRAS is a signatory to the UN Global Compact and a member of the International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC). As such, we are committed to corporate social responsibility and to complying with the UN Global Compact’s ten principles on human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption.
It is NIRAS’ policy to conduct all activities with a high degree of responsibility for human health, safety and welfare. Health and safety guidelines are developed and implemented across our countries of operation to deliver local value and ensure compliance with local cultures, laws and regulations.

Our HR policy is designed to support the implementation of the NIRAS Fundamentals. As with our health and safety guidelines, HR-related policies are developed and implemented across our countries of operation to deliver local value and align with local cultures, laws and regulations. This means that many of our tools and processes can be adapted to different parts of the world. Examples of policies applied across our operations cover how we address excessive alcohol consumption and dependency, how we prevent bullying, and how we handle sexual harassment.
At NIRAS, everyone has equal value and should have equal opportunities to reach their full potential. We believe that diversity among our employees broadens our perspectives. We strive to create an inclusive workplace and culture that offers equal opportunities and supports diversity.
The EDI policy supports and guides our work at both Group level and in individual countries. NIRAS operates in countries with different legal frameworks, cultures and labour markets. We therefore develop locally adapted plans and actions to reflect these differences.
