Our products

Virtual Consultation

AECOM's Virtual Consultation platform brings people together on an interactive web-based tool; providing an opportunity to engage and consult a wide audience, anytime, from their computer or mobile device. Since launching in April 2020, the platform has helped reach hundreds of thousands of people during a global health crisis. https://digital.aecom.com/solution/virtual-consultation/

EcoUplift

EcoUplift supports policy makers, landowners, and developers to understand and plan for the improvement of the biodiversity and natural capital value of their land interests. EcoUplift is helping users across the UK to uplift nature in the ways that matter to them, through efficient natural capital and biodiversity accounting.

PlanEngage

PlanEngage makes technical reports and data easily accessible, interactive and highly visual for improved engagement, faster project permitting, and better environmental and social outcomes. PlanEngage allows you to create, access, and share project materials in a collaborative, dynamic online environment, making those complex technical reports easier to digest.

The Sustainable Markets Initiative Nature Risk Tool is forward-looking and decision useful. Developed by AECOM, it allows developers and investors to optimize nature-positive elements at the optioneering and site selection stages of infrastructure projects.
