Impact Report 2020

Our Social Impact
We think of our social impact holistically, encompassing how we affect our
clients, our candidates, our colleagues, our suppliers, our wider community,
and the recruitment industry at large.

We see our key social impacts as:
• the quality of the appointments we
help our clients to make and the
impact those individuals subsequently
have in-post;
• the integrity with which we help
candidates to define and to attain
their career objectives;
• the way in which we look after, and
develop our colleagues;
• the extent to which our business
consumes resources, and the size of
our carbon footprint;
• the impact and longevity of our work
in the community;
• the leadership we show within the
wider recruitment industry on issues
of responsibility, ethics, sustainability,
diversity, equity, and inclusion.
We’ve sought to make tangible
improvements in each of these areas over the
past year, which the remainder of this report
hopefully illustrates. As ever though, we
believe that the most significant way in which
we contribute positively towards society is
through the appointments we help our clients
to make. The impact that those individuals
have in-post has undoubtedly been our
single most crucial driver since the
company’s conception.
Increasingly we are choosing to look at the
appointments we handle through the lens of
the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Set in 2015 by the United Nations General
Assembly, and intended to be achieved by the
year 2030, the SDGs are comprised of 17
global goals designed to be a "blueprint to
achieve a better and more sustainable future
for all".
Here’s how our work related to those goals
