Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles are increasingly becoming a cornerstone of responsible business practices. Our commitment to ESG is not just about our commitment to being a responsible business, it is a strategic imperative that drives innovation, resilience, and long-term value creation for our stakeholders; our clients, our colleagues and our communities.
As we navigate the complexities of modern-day practises, our ESG initiatives serve as a beacon, guiding our journey towards sustainable growth and shared prosperity. We believe that our dedication to ESG principles enhances our operational efficiency, mitigates risks, and unlocks new market opportunities.
Our ESG commitment positively impacts on our financial performance, affording us competitive advantage, increasing job security, and business longevity. In our latest ESG report, we delve into the ways in which our ESG efforts are integrated into our business model, influencing decision-making processes, and fostering a culture of sustainability and ethical responsibility.
Environmental - We are committed to ensuring we are preventing and minimising our operational carbon footprint. We plan to get to net zero by 2045 using aligned science-based targets, by integrating sustainable strategies into our day-to-day operations.
Social - Our values and behaviours ensure we have a working environment where all our people are treated fairly and have access to opportunities and reward. We are proud of our development programmes and our place in the top 100 apprenticeship employers. Supporting our local communities is important to us, personally and as a firm, and alongside our dedicated charity of the month, we have many colleagues undertaking their own charity fundraising.
Governance - We aim for our approach in our governance frameworks to build confidence, and to ensure as a business that the understanding flows from our board throughout the firm. Our senior team understands and identifies the priorities which are most relevant to Governance, and in the scope of ESG, governance acts as the cornerstone of sustainable growth and ethical business conduct. We are committed to transparency, accountability and ethical leadership. Our governance framework is designed not only to comply with regulations but to exceed them, ensuring that we create value responsibly for all stakeholders.
