Remediation of Ashton canal corridor for the Manchester Commonwealth Games Mott MacDonald has been providing environmental services for the best part of a century, including water resources development in the Middle East, agricultural development in Africa, saline land restoration in Pakistan, and flood defences in the UK. As a result, we recognised early on that major projects need to balance social, environmental and economic needs, an approach that is now accepted worldwide.

Our environmental staff are found throughout our offices, enabling them to focus on our customers’ local needs. They are also able to draw on centres of excellence that provide a global service wherever it is needed. This means that we can respond quickly to our customers' needs with world class knowledge and local support.

Our people are experts in disciplines as diverse as ecology, landscape architecture, natural resource management, air, land and water pollution, renewable energy, energy efficiency and waste management. These specialist skills are integrated by experienced environmental project managers to complete environmental impact assessments (EIAs), project and organisational environmental management plans (EMPs), due diligence assignments and other advisory services.
