At GHD, we don’t just believe in the power of commitment, we live and breathe it every day. Community impact is key to us, influencing how we work, our projects and how we give back. Our GHD in the Community program partners with not‑for‑profit organisations so that we can work on pro‑bono projects, as well as volunteering and fundraising for philanthropic and humanitarian causes. As a business, we also channel some of our profits into the GHD Foundation, a registered charity that addresses disadvantage and inequality in children accessing STEAM education in the countries where we live and work. Within GHD, our employee groups and networks help us foster community, find our tribe, and celebrate what makes us unique. These groups play a big part in our global diversity, equity and inclusion strategy, creating spaces for meaningful and safe conversations, connecting with likeminded individuals, and creating a voice to leadership.
