Our approach to corporate responsibility
Our approach to corporate social responsibility is founded on one simple principle: responsible business is good business.
Today our agenda touches every part of our business strategy and we take our responsibility of being a good corporate citizen extremely seriously.
We have built our approach on a strong heritage and continue to develop new solutions; whether it is through working closely with our communities, encouraging and enabling our own people to share their skills through volunteering, managing our environmental impacts, working alongside our suppliers or helping our clients deal with pressing global issues such as climate change.
Sustainability is a major issue for the firm and our commitment is led by a team of Partners and Directors from across the firm. Their strategy is focused on the key areas of Community, Environment, Workplace and Marketplace and the delivery of an integrated and embedded programme of corporate responsibility.
We have developed a suite of policies and programmes to facilitate the implementation of our UK wide ambitions, supported by specific targets and rigorous reporting mechanics to ensure that we are continually making a positive contribution to society and reporting our progress in an open and transparent way.
Key highlights:
- £9.8m invested in our communities
- 47,000 hours contributed by our people volunteering
- 39% of our people volunteered last year
- Ambition to make a 25% reduction in our carbon footprint by 2010
