HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – September 15, 2023 – SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. (TSX: SNC), a fully integrated professional services and project management company with offices around the world, announced today that she changes her name to AtkinsRéalis.
Building on more than a century of achievements from brands such as SNC-Lavalin, Atkins, Faithful+Gould, DTS and Atkins Acuity, AtkinsRéalis brings together the entire organization under one brand and represents a major step in the business transformation journey. Headquartered in Montreal, Canada, AtkinsRéalis combines the expertise of its 36,000 employees across markets and regions to provide end-to-end solutions in built and natural environments.
“AtkinsRéalis is a new name for a new, transformed company: our ability to draw on such breadth and depth of global capabilities will maximize our ability to work seamlessly and provide a unique integrated offering to our customers and partners. It all starts with our employees; they care about each other, about this business and, most importantly, they care about the work we do and believe in our purpose of creating a better future for our planet and its people. I couldn’t be more proud of our team’s dedication to the success of this company. , said Ian L. Edwards, President and CEO of AtkinsRéalis.
“In recent years, we have deliberately repositioned the company. We exited areas of the business that were unprofitable or not aligned with our strategy; we fixed the underlying issues affecting our performance; we have doubled our efforts in high-growth global markets; we have embraced digital transformation; and “Most importantly, we have redefined our purpose and strengthened our culture. We have reached an inflection point, so it is the right time to rebrand AtkinsRéalis and reflect the exciting future that lies ahead,” added Mr. Edwards.
The name AtkinsRéalis is a coined term that combines Atkins, a well-established historical brand in the company’s international markets, and “Réalis”, inspired by the city of Montreal and the company’s French-Canadian roots. “Achieve” also resembles the verb “realize” or “realize” which emphasizes our focus on results and completion of projects.
As of September 13, the Company’s new brand and associated visual identity will be used on all communication media. The Company’s common shares will begin trading on the TSX under the new ticker symbol (TSX: ATRL) before the markets open on September 18, 2023. Groupe SNC-Lavalin Inc. will not change its corporate name until the Company will not have obtained shareholder approval, as required by law, at its 2024 annual meeting of shareholders.
