Supporting change
We look at all projects through a ‘social’ lens. We always start with the ambition of making positive and transformational social change in every major project we deliver.

Happier lives, better communities

What do we mean by delivering social outcomes?

At Mott MacDonald, we simply describe it like this:

“We improve society by leaving a positive legacy or making a positive difference in the communities in which we work.”

It's not just words, it's a commitment – to changing people's lives for the better.

When I think about social outcomes, it creates an emotional response in me because it really resonates with who I think we are as a business and also as individuals. We are good people who do good things. Our involvement in some of the largest infrastructure projects in the world gives us huge influence and opportunity to deliver better outcomes for the communities we work in.

Cathy Travers
Group managing director, UK and Europe

As a leading global consultancy, we have a responsibility to use the influence we have, through delivering some of the world’s largest infrastructure projects, to make a positive change for those who need it most.

We look upon infrastructure as a means of realising social benefits and responding more holistically to community needs around accessibility, inclusion, empowerment, resilience and wellbeing.

If infrastructure projects are to bring about real change in communities, social outcomes need to be embedded throughout each step of the project lifecycle. This is the approach we’re taking.

We look at projects through a ‘social’ lens. We start with the ambition of making positive and transformational social change in every major project we deliver. We listen to local people to understand their aspirations. We develop inclusive infrastructure through people-centred planning and design.

By working this way, we know we can address long-term inequalities, support citizens to live happier and healthier lives, and leave a legacy of sustainable, resilient and inclusive communities.
