Effects of changes to segmentation 

On 2 March, in the results announcement for the year ended 31 December 2016, we reported that the Board had decided that, from 1 January 2017, the Group would operate and report three multi-disciplinary regional segments: Australia Asia Pacific ("AAP"), which has been in existence since 2013, Europe and North America. The latter two have been formed by combining Built and Natural Environment ("BNE"): Europe with the Europe, Africa and Middle East ("EAME") component of Energy and BNE: North America with the North America component of Energy.

The effect of these changes on the segment results for the year ended 31 December 2016 and on the six months ended 30 June 2016 is given below in notes 1 and 2 respectively.
