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.
