Responsible business underpins how we operate. Environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations are embedded into our decision‑making and the way we work with clients, partners and communities.
Our approach reflects a clear commitment to act ethically, manage risk and support long‑term value.

Calculating value to society
Our social value performance is measured across six ‘capitals’ which indicate our contribution as a business.
- Human capital – human-led initiatives from volunteering to wellbeing
- Intellectual capital – investing in research, upskilling & development
- Social capital - community investment and work with social enterprises
- Financial capital – our own revenue, tax, and the employees we pay
- Natural capital – value added through environmental and green space initiatives
- Manufactured capital – consumption of key fuels and the carbon we offset
