Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Our Workplace

At Gannett Fleming, we have a commitment to diversity. We believe a workplace built upon the principles of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging makes us stronger, smarter, and more creative. It reflects the range of communities we serve as a leader in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry.

Inclusion is at the heart of our corporate principles, and we strive to bring a range of perspectives to the table. We are driven to build and nurture a culture of belonging where employees work together to deliver excellence to our clients no matter their:

  • Age.
  • Race.
  • Gender identity.
  • Sexual orientation.
  • Disabilities.
  • Religion.
  • Ethnicity.
  • National origin.

We understand that having an inclusive environment fuels our innovation and imagination, and it results in better decisions and a sense of belonging.

Supported by our strategic action plan, we are increasing diversity, leadership accountability, and providing employees with tools to build cultural competency. Our nine-person Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) Steering Committee develops, reviews, and measures inclusion goals.

  • We know DE&I is about more than just making pledges; it’s about making concrete progress.

    That’s why we’re dedicated to being the employer of choice for all in the AEC industry. We are focused on reducing voluntary turnover for groups such as women, people of color, and those in the LGBTQ+ community. We’re developing a framework to track and report continuous improvement metrics, such as hires, leadership, ownership, professional development, and promotions. We also provide diversity and inclusion competency training to all directors and continue to offer companywide programming to train and build awareness for DE&I.

    Additionally, we understand that we have a responsibility to the communities we serve. We make investments focused on engagement and improving connection to our communities through partnerships with existing organizations focused on inclusion and equity in our industry. We also offer scholarship awards for Black and/or female students.

  • At Gannett Fleming, our vision has always been clear—to be a driving force in improving our communities and sustaining our world. We accomplish this through delivering services as promised to our clients with innovative solutions at the core. Having diversity around the project team table is the foundation for driving innovation. We seek to create a positive environmental and social responsibility impact every day and greater value for clients.

    Gannett Fleming is committed to providing contracting and subcontracting opportunities to small, micro, women, veteran, LGBTQ+, disabled, disadvantaged, indigenous, and minority-owned businesses.
