Corporate Social Responsibility

We recognise that the management of broader corporate responsibilities is integral to a successful business. People want to work for, buy from and deal with companies that make a positive contribution to the world. So behaving ethically and safeguarding the environment can, and should, contribute towards commercial success.

Standards of business conduct

We are committed to ensuring that we conduct our business in all respects according to rigorous ethical, professional and legal standards. Central to our core business activity is our aim to help organisations:

• become better places for their employees
• provide better value/experience for their customers

And we endeavour only to take on work where we are sure we can add value for the client.

Business travel

Business travel is closely linked to the levels and locations of client work in progress. The nature of our business dictates that a certain amount of travel is unavoidable, but we strive continually to reduce the environmental impact of our travel patterns by:

• encouraging our consultants to work from home whenever feasible
• holding the majority of our internal meetings via audio conferencing
• using public transport whenever practical for client-related travel
• minimising air miles through careful scheduling of client visits.
