Our Global Leading Markets and the Netherlands

The need for solutions to the complex challenges faced by countries, societies and businesses is more important than ever. In this, Royal HaskoningDHV has an important role to play.

We design, safeguard, and maintain assets in our living environments that form the backbone of society – from buildings and infrastructure to energy and water supplies, industrial sites, transport systems and more. 

We aim for growth in nine global leading markets where we have a strong position and are renowned for our expertise – allowing us to innovate, attract clients and talents, and be profitable. In these markets we would like to operate on a global scale, offering three main services:

  • Engineering and design services – building on our deep domain knowledge and ability to tackle clients’ complex demands, 

  • Consultancy services – being a trusted advisor for clients who are increasingly considering total cost of ownership,

  • Software and technology – supporting clients to optimise the performance of their assets by combining software and technology with our domain knowledge.
