Our commitment to Corporate and Social Responsibility
Our CSR programme and policies are focused around four stakeholder groups; Our clients; Our local community; Our environment; and Our staff.
Our clients
At Kreston Reeves we have built our business on the basic principles of trust, loyalty and commitment to our clients. We apply the same principles in all our dealings with business contacts and the people who choose to pursue a career with us.
Our environment
As members of the accounting profession, the partners of Kreston Reeves are actively endorsing the ICAEW’s support for the UN’s Global Goals for Sustainable Development.
Our local community
We endeavour to ‘give back’ to our local community wherever we can.

Our staff
We are proud of our firm’s wellbeing programme. A movement shaped to encourage a culture of holistic wellbeing throughout the firm, one which inspires our colleagues and partners to take the best possible care of themselves and one another.

The Kreston Reeves Foundation
We have recently set up the Kreston Reeves Foundation as a registered charity (registered number 1180402) which is run by Kreston Reeves staff members for the firm’s nominated charities (selected by staff on an annual basis).
The Foundation is the focal point for Kreston Reeves’ many charitable, fundraising and CSR activities.
Our staff and Partners are committed to giving back to our communities and this Foundation aims to combine the efforts from across the firm to maximise its impact.
Wellbeing
We have core values in place which specify that:
- We treat all individuals within the Firm with honesty and respect.
- We consistently strive to develop all our people to the full, to be individuals of high regard in their community.
- We continually develop the range and depth of our own skills to service our clients and support our colleagues.
Although the firm is always open to ideas, there is also a staff forum which meets four times a year whereby members of staff are encouraged to put forward any ideas or suggestions and also have the chance to ask questions through nominated representatives.
Kreston Reeves has a Sports and Social committee which organises social events for staff. These include an annual quiz and a Christmas party, as well as inter-office football and netball tournaments.
