Annual Impact Report 2023

Annual Impact Report 2023
Introduction
Section 1
Welcome to Society’s 2023 Impact Report. As a ‘triple-bottom-line’
committed B Corporation, we’re a global executive search firm rooted
in focus on People, Planet and Profit. Our relationship-driven advisory
approach sets us apart and we make it our business to unearth up-andcoming,
diverse and transferable talent on behalf of our clients. This past
year we’ve secured leaders for similarly purpose-driven partners and
the social impact ripple effect of these appointments spurs us forward.
Meanwhile, positively evolving our culture and sustainability actions remain
of paramount focus.
We’re changing the
world, one appointment
at a time and will be
your partner in finding
diverse talent that
delivers.
This year has also involved some hard decisions, including a review of our
business model and a team restructure. By facing into needed change,
we have now right-sized for the future and laid the groundwork to remain
a sustainable, inclusive and vibrant workplace. We’re proud that through
this transformation we’ve maintained a market-leading Net Promoter
Score (NPS) and that in our January 2024 staff survey a sizeable majority of
our team still highly rated Society as a place to work. Our people are our
backbone and I thank them for their commitment, resourcefulness
and drive.
Having spent ten years with the business, this past autumn marked my
promotion to Chief Executive, succeeding Society’s founder Simon Lucas,
who remains with the firm to focus on client work. I’m excited to lead
Society’s next growth chapter and believe passionately that our strong
partnership approach – for our clients, candidates, suppliers and with each
other - is essential to unlocking our triple-bottom-line impact for the year
ahead. I hope reading this Impact Report gives you a strong sense of both
what we do, and how we do it, and I remain constantly curious for new
opportunities to collaborate.

Chief Executive
