ED&I Employee Resource Groups
US employees speak about how ERGs help them belong. Different makes a difference.
PUTTING ED&I AT THE
HEART OF US
So we’re on a journey to put these principles at the heart of our culture and day-to-day work. It’s a journey led by all of us – supporting each other to create a more equal, diverse and inclusive place to thrive.
To help us get there faster, we’re aligned to the organization’s global ED&I program – Different makes a difference. What’s more, the US region also has its own tailored action plans to deliver on the issues that matter most to our people here.

When we combine our differences, we truly make a difference. So our commitment is to create and maintain an inclusive culture where everyone belongs, can be their true self and can reach their full potential.
WEAVING ED&I INTO
EVERYTHING WE DO
Join us in the US and you join over 4,000 employees from a multitude of different cultures and backgrounds. Our goal is to make sure that every single person feels included, valued and has an equal voice. We aim to provide a supportive environment and be sensitive to individual needs and ambitions. We weave ED&I into all of our working practices and projects and its central to our culture.
You won’t just experience these values inside the business. You’ll also inspire the world around you – through more inclusive, accessible and sustainable design.
Our Scholarship Program for Minorities in STEM
Over the past 10 years, we have awarded over 130 scholarships through our Foundation Scholarship for Minorities in STEM. The scholarship is offered to Junior and Senior-level minority students majoring in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math (STEM) programs.
The purpose of the scholarship is to help support students focusing on STEM programs pursue higher education, and to develop a relationship with students for future employment opportunities within us. We are pleased with the fact that we have helped many students achieve their educational goals, and we look forward to continuing to offer this assistance to many more students in the future.

We are proud to share that we have received the Rosa Parks Diversity Leadership from the Women's Transportation Seminar (WTS) Heart of Texas Chapter. The Rosa Parks Diversity Leadership Award honors an individual or organization that has made significant contributions in promoting diversity and cultural awarenesss within their organization, the transportation industry, or in a project or activity that supports the goals and mission of WTS.

IT'S YOUR BUSINESS TO HELP
MAKE US BETTER
Our journey is ongoing, and progress doesn’t just come from a program or a leader – we all need to be part of the difference. So we encourage everyone to get involved and make their voices heard. This is most evident in our self-generated Employee Resource Groups – representing groups from women to LGBTQ+, Hispanic employees, Black and African American to neurodiverse employees. Every voice matters. And only by hearing them all will we create a culture that fosters true inclusivity and equality.
