Financial Year 2021 / 2022: Sustainability as part of our purpose
At Arthur Cox we measure progress as we strive to do better in everything we do.
Constant progress is a key part of our purpose and culture as a business. We strive to think ahead, with ideas that make better experiences possible. Sustainability is a key business focus for us. Last year we published our inaugural Sustainable Business Impact Report. It provided context for many of our Sustainable Business programme activities with some of the history behind them.
This year we are pleased to report on our activities for the financial year 2021/2022. We want to showcase new activities and report on developments in many of our long-standing activities and partnerships over the past year. Being a sustainable business is one of key focuses of our firm’s strategy. We have a proud history of engaging in meaningful activities that benefit our people, communities and other stakeholders. However, we could not do the work that we do without the dedication of our people and the many organisations that we work with who ensure that we can contribute to driving change for a more sustainable future for everyone.
Over the past year, Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) considerations have continued to feature at the top of the agenda for investors and businesses concerned about sustainability and doing business responsibly. We were delighted to launch a dedicated ESG Hub on our website in May 2022. For more information please click here.
The Arthur Cox Sustainable Business Impact Report 2021/22 is once again mapped across the four internationally-recognised core dimensions of a sustainable business programme: Community, Workplace, Marketplace and the Environment. With our second report, we want to demonstrate our impact over the past financial year, with an update on the activities we documented in our last report that show our continued commitment to sustainable outcomes for our business, our people, the environment and the communities in which we operate. We have shaped our strategy by reference to the UN Sustainable Development Goals as outlined in each of the sections of this report.
