“We have invested in our people and innovations to accelerate our digital ways of working in order to deliver better and faster solutions with and for our clients.

“To bring our strategy to life, we proactively co-create innovations with partners and clients to enhance society.

Looking ahead to 2019, Oostwegel said Royal HaskoningDHV said it expected growth in two of its biggest markets – the Netherlands and Indonesia and that it will continue its digital innovation in order to drive growth.

“We have a great team, the right processes in place and sound long-lasting client relationships,” Oostwegel said.
