ESG is at the heart of our values and business targets. It is actively monitored by the Board at governance level and by the Team at an operational level.
Our Team, Shareholders and Clients collectively agreed to be accountable for four main target areas which we believe we can directly and positively influence. Each objective area has a number of key indicators which we use to monitor progress and performance.
