/CNW/ - AtkinsRéalis [SNC-Lavalin Group Inc.] (TSX: ATRL), a fully
integrated professional services and project management company
with offices around the world, released today its inaugural Annual
Integrated Report, signaling a transformative approach to corporate
reporting that integrates financial and ESG considerations to
enhance transparency and accountability.
"2023 marked the beginning of a new era for AtkinsRéalis," said

new brand to mark our inflection point as a company following deep,
transformational changes to every aspect of our business,
positioning us for a future of growth and fully aligning us with
our purpose of "Engineering a better future for our planet and its

set out in our three year "Pivoting to Growth" strategy, and we
estimate that approximately half of the company's revenues have
been generated by sustainable projects. As we look to the future,
we will continue to pursue excellence, lean into our purpose, and
attract the best and the brightest talent. We will also continue to
look for ways to optimize our business, innovate for our clients,
and enhance our position as a world-leading design, project
management, and professional services company."
The Annual Integrated Report details how AtkinsRéalis is
advancing its commitment to adopt performance management tools that
foster collaboration, challenge silos, and put both financial and
non-financial information at the center of the corporate
strategy.
"The integration of ESG and financial reporting offers
AtkinsRéalis an opportunity to provide our entire stakeholder
audience, particularly our shareholders, with increased
transparency, adding controls and assurance to our non-financial
metrics and increasing understanding of the impact of the work we
undertake on society as a whole," said Hentie Dirker, Chief ESG and
Integrity Officer, AtkinsRéalis. "Our integrated report reflects
AtkinsRéalis' steadfast commitment to ESG principles and practices.
