Group Name and Logo

The word ARCADIS comes from the Greek word ARCADIA and means a harmonious society, the mythological “paradise”. It was chosen as the name of the group as it best represents our commitment to laying down the best conditions for life for all of us. Because of its amazing ability to live both in water and on dry land, we use the salamander in our logo as a perfect symbol of ecological equilibrium, to which we want to contribute with our operations.

ARCADIS looks to the future.

We create. We develop. We fulfil your vision.
