The rally was held outside of GHD's Port Macquarie office on Thursday morning, kicking off a week of action.
On its website, GHD says its policy is that they do not publicly comment on matters that relate to client business.
"While details of our work with Adani are confidential, we can confirm that we are not responsible for the design of mine site infrastructure or construction of the Carmichael coal mine," the business says.
"We have no ongoing contractual obligations on this project beyond early December 2019, when the existing contractual obligations are due to expire."
The business says it will assess any future opportunities to work with Adani's Australian businesses, which include renewable energy projects, if and when these opportunities arise.
Thursday morning's rally was organised by Dr Stephen Healy and included a coalition of concerned environment groups and individuals.
Dr Healy said almost 100 businesses have already indicated they will not work with the planned Adani mine.
"More and more are signing up to not contract to this Adani coal mine," he said.
Resident, Jane Stevenson, says she has first-hand knowledge of the impact a mine can have on a community.
The former Gloucester residents says she has lived the damage of a divided town.
A few months ago, the Rocky Hill Mine was turned down and it was the first time in the world that global warming was cited as a part reason for rejecting an application.

"For 10 years in Gloucester we fought the coal mines and the AGL coal seam gas issue," she said.
"A few months ago, the Rocky Hill mine was turned down and it was the first time in the world that global warming was cited as a part reason for rejecting an application.
"That is another reason why the Adani mine should be stopped in its tracks.
"Gloucester became a town divided. It was a very unhappy town with one side being played off against the other," she said.
"Eventually, the coal seam gas closed down and the mine was refused."
Mrs Stevenson said she was also concerned that government - any government - was not doing much about climate change. "They say the words but don't do a lot," she added.
She also challenged climate change deniers to consider the impacts if they are wrong.
"They just shove this aside and make it someone else's problem."
Our federal government should be leading the way on this. The fossil fuel industry must change; it can't be business as usual.
- Frank Dennis
Climate Change Australia, Hastings branch member Frank Dennis warned about a pending climate catastrophe.
"Most governments have only given token gestures on this issue," he said.
"Our federal government should be leading the way on this. The fossil fuel industry must change; it can't be business as usual.
"We needed leadership."
Krissa Wilkinson says the government's mantra that the mine would bring jobs and growth "doesn't make any sense".
"What about the jobs lost in the tourism industry and through eco-tourism.
Carol Baker says the community needed to ask itself what it values as a society.
