ESG

Our purpose as a business is to power people and organisations to fulfil their unique potential. This guides everything that we say and do and is at the heart of our environmental, social and governance (ESG) programme.

Our approach to ESG 

 

Following a comprehensive materiality assessment, we developed and launched our new ESG strategy in 2023 which focuses on six priority areas: engaging our workforce; enhancing our equity, diversity and inclusion (ED&I) initiatives, both within our organisation and with our clients; responding to a sustainable world of work; reducing our environmental impact; supporting our communities; and being a responsible business. 

We’re proud to align our ESG strategy to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, taking a long-term strategic approach to ESG within our business, for our people and to help our clients and candidates. 

We have set clear targets for each priority area to hold ourselves accountable for driving meaningful change and delivering positive impact for our stakeholders. We invite you to read more in our ESG strategy report.
