Responsible Business

Our approach to responsible business

Our commitment to being a responsible business is embedded in our Code and our operations. We use our commitment to the UN Global Compact, and associated global frameworks, to help shape our approach.

The concepts that are integral to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) are embedded in our approach to Responsible Business. For instance, we align our operations to contribute towards a number of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), focusing on those areas where we can make the greatest contribution, and we intend to continue to do so through to 2030.

Responsible business governance

Our Responsible Business Board plays a central role in overseeing the firm’s approach to responsible business, as set by our Executive Leadership Group. It ensures the strategy is effectively implemented, aligned with the firm’s values, and responsive to emerging issues and stakeholder expectations.

Responsible Business Report 2025

During the financial year ended 30 April 2025 (FY25) we focused on strengthening our capabilities to remain adaptable and resilient – guided by the needs of our clients, our people and the long-term sustainability of our firm.
