VALUE PROPOSITION Arup is a global firm of designers, engineers, planners and business consultants and has been present in Africa for over 60 years. Its global expertise (90 offices in 35 countries) and local knowledge provides a diverse range of professional services to clients around the world. Arup was founded on an enduring set of values which foster a distinctive culture and an intellectual independence that encourages collaborative working. This is reflected in everything we do, allowing us to develop meaningful ideas, help shape agendas and deliver results. Through the company’s innovative and fully-integrated approach, which brings a full complement of skills and knowledge to bear on any given design problem, Arup exerts a significant influence on the built environment. It is the creative force behind many of the world’s most innovative and sustainable designs. The Cape Town office houses a renewable energy and sustainable environment design group, who are the motivation behind major undertakings across the continent; such as the Addis Ababa Arup C40 UrbanLife workshop (part of the firm’s role as strategic advisor to the C40 and the Clinton Climate Initiative to regenerate the world’s largest cities), customising the Australian Green Star rating tool for the South African market, and calculating the carbon footprint for the COP17 event in Durban. Arup summarises its approach in one statement: “We shape a better world.”
