How we support the community :
Our commitment to corporate responsibility and our communities is about doing the right thing; behaving in a responsible, ethical and trustworthy manner, acknowledging our impact on society and the environment and accountability to our stakeholders.
All our senior staff are expected to be a member of a professional institution and less senior staff are encouraged to become a member of a professional organisation. Membership of a professional organisation typically means agreeing to comply with a code of ethics that provides clients, co-workers and stakeholders that our work is undertaken to a relevant professional standard and we understand the impacts our decisions have on the wider community.
Our commitment to our clients is the best quality advice and we support our staff in continuing professional development and mentoring so they can achieve their personal goals faster.
Our responsibility also extends to the direct effects our company has on the environment and our community.
•We attempt wherever possible to minimise our effect on the environment. We operate a paperless office but where we do create waste paper we recycle internal paper to scrap and recycle unusable paper externally via another company. We obviously support sustainable transport and encourage staff to walk, cycle and take public transport to work. We are acknowledged 'winners' when it comes to travelling to work by cycle. Information Technology (IT) is a significant part of our energy use and we use Energy Star equipment to minimise energy use. We also use technology to improve communication and limit our need to travel and our resultant carbon footprint.
•We also understand that 'giving back' to our communities is two fold. One, we often undertake pro bono commissions where we consider a case particularly deserves our specialist skills and we have available resources and two, we contribute to the technical knowledge of our professions and our professional organisations.
Our firm is a corporate member of the Sustainable Business Network. Sustainability is the biggest opportunity and challenge that business faces and the Sustainable Business Network provides practical advice and support to assist business with this challenge.
