Environmental, social & governance

We are a values-driven business that recognises the importance of Environmental Social and Governance principles in guiding the way we do business and how we engage with our clients, partners and other stakeholders.

We have committed to the following core principles that form our ESG framework. The scope and detail of these principles will evolve over time as our business grows and responds to the changing business environment.

Our NYC and London offices are used as hot-desking hubs with many staff based at home (thus reducing the need for travel, office space and energy consumption).

Where possible we use environmentally friendly office supplies and reduce our non-recyclable waste generation (inc. no use of plastic bottles/coffee cups).

Our technology infrastructure is based on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform which can be up to 93 per cent more energy-efficient and up to 98 per cent more carbon efficient than on-premises solutions.

We support a range of charities, organisations and initiatives that are close to the hearts of our colleagues and which aim to provide funds or non-financial support for local or national causes. Visit our Charity pages for further details.

We regard Diversity & Inclusion as critical in creating a culture that is embracing, respectful and encouraging of the diverse cultures, backgrounds and perspectives of all colleagues.

Our colleagues have the freedom to choose a work-life balance that works for them through remote, flexible or hybrid working. We have a collaborative working environment – our London and New York offices provide a hub for colleagues to meet, work and socialise. We provide support for learning and development opportunities to promote personal growth and improve the skills and abilities within our business.

Robust corporate governance is crucial for our clients and partners to assess and trust in the quality of our management, processes and systems.

Our approach to corporate governance is articulated partly by our internal guidelines and policies but also reinforced by the collective responsibility of our Executive team.

Meeting at least monthly, the Executive team is responsible for the conduct and performance of our business and ensures the required financial and human resources are available to meet our strategic objectives and the needs of our clients and partners.

This commitment is supported by our SOC 2 certification which demonstrates that we have appropriate controls in place for our business processes and IT infrastructure to properly protect our financial and client data.
