Turning commitment into action
Responsible business is woven into how we do business every day. Through our Ethical Framework, recognised global standards and independent assessment, we continue to turn our commitments into measurable action.
In our first half-year update, we highlight progress across the first six months of our 2026/27 financial year, including validation of our climate targets by SBTi, a Platinum EcoVadis rating, recognition as one of the UK's Best Workplaces for Women and for Development, and new initiatives supporting social mobility, mentoring, wellbeing and inclusion.
By reporting more regularly, we aim to provide greater transparency, demonstrate accountability and continue building trust with our people, clients and communities.
