Gender Equality at Aurecon NZ

Gender equality means removing barriers and enabling equal participation and opportunity in all aspects of life for every person of every gender.

We aim to improve gender representation in our workforce and leadership, and to play our part in progressing gender equality. We do this for each Aurecon employee, for Aurecon, for our clients and for the communities in which we live, work and play. 

Our focus is mostly on professional roles, technical roles, and leadership positions. 

While this is a journey, we continue to make progress on our goal to disrupt gendered expectations and norms and seek genuine choice and opportunity for all employees. 

Aurecon is also a founding member of The Diversity Agenda in New Zealand. In February 2020, as part of our continual diversity and inclusion aspirations, we signed the Diversity Agenda’s Diversity Agenda Accord.
