ESG

Our vision is to be a sustainable “glocal" business that connects people to innovative technologies and services. We focus our corporate responsibility on the three sustainability pillars of Environmental, Social and Governance. 

Through ESG reporting we commit to providing transparency to our stakeholders on both our internal practices, policies and our environmental impact. 

We are committed to sustainable business practices,
that foster long term partnerships with our stakeholders.

"Our ESG strategy is not only about compliance with regulations; it’s about our people, equality, and being responsible for our carbon footprint.

It impacts the products we choose to supply, what happens to these products at disposal, and our supply chain influence. All of  which, factor into how we can be a positive contributor to a sustainable future."

ENVIRONMENTAL

We are committed to lowering our global carbon footprint. We acknowledge the devastating effect climate change has had and recognise this will continue to impact individuals and businesses at a direct level.

In line with the philosophy that “you can't manage, what you can't measure” we are currently calculating our scope 1-3 carbon emissions across all our global offices. Measuring the real impact of our business activities at this scale will enable us to make a significant step towards our decarbonization goals and set accurate reduction targets.
