-
Our B Corp Commitment: Be transparent about performance and prioritise social and environmental progress in decision making.
‘We aim to make our Governance as transparent as possible, both within the team and publicly. Being a B Corp helps us do this by holding us to account for producing Impact Assessment Reports that detail our ESG progress and opportunities.’
- Jason Thone, Financial Controller -
Our Bcorp Commitment: Prioritise employee engagement & wellbeing and ensure workers are supported and listened to.
‘We wanted to support our team to proactively manage their wellbeing. We have introduced a wellbeing allowance to encourage people to prioritise their physical, mental, financial and intellectual wellbeing.’
- Hannah Crossley, Principal‘I had a New Year’s resolution to improve my fitness after two years of missing out on playing rugby during the pandemic. The wellbeing allowance has helped me invest in a rowing machine that helps me get my heart rate up, even when I can’t get out on the rugby pitch’.
- Cameron Clarke, Analyst‘I’ve always wanted to try glassblowing, and the wellbeing allowance gave me the incentive I needed to find a course that I can fit around work and my other commitments’.
- Catherine Newman, Consultant -
Our B Corp Commitment: Reduce energy consumption where possible, offset our Carbon Footprint and seek out sustainable suppliers.
‘Through our carbon offset scheme, we have supported Trees for Life in their mission to re-wild the Caledonian forest for more than two years. We think their work is so great, this year they are our nominated fundraising charity. As a team we are being sponsored to (virtually) walk, run and cycle to the Amazon to raise money. In our Trees for Life woodland grove, we’ve planted many trees through our fundraising, and offset schemes.’
- Alec Brazier, Senior Consultant -
Our B Corp commitment: Represent the local population you work in, support local suppliers and volunteer to make a difference.
‘Each team member is given two days a year for volunteering. To encourage people to use them, we are holding a Conservation Day in London, where most of our team are based.’
- Joel Bradbury, Research & Admin Co-Ordinator -
Our B Corp Commitment: Focus on creating sustainable, quality and assured value for our clients
‘Interactions with our clients have dramatically changed over the past two years, since we began to conduct a lot of our work remotely. To continue to strengthen our customer relations, we conduct ‘Partners in Quality’ interviews with clients. These are standard end-of-project reviews that help us objectively assess our performance. The insights enable us to build on opportunities for improvement and keep enhancing what our clients love about working with Egremont.’
- Natalie Gordon, Chief of StaffHear from a recent client here.
