Guiding clients, colleagues and communities to a brighter future

Our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) commitment is central to our purpose as a firm – to guide our clients, colleagues and communities to a brighter future – and our vision – to make a difference and lead the way as a sustainable and socially focused adviser.

We recognise the important role we have as a business, to act responsibly and hold ourselves accountable for creating long-lasting positive change. We also place high value on what our people care about so having a comprehensive and accountable ESG programme is of paramount importance.

We’ve aligned our ESG programme with four of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Good health and wellbeing are about ensuring and promoting a healthy lifestyle and wellbeing for all – within our firm and local communities. Our people work incredibly hard, so we recognise the importance of balancing demanding work with mental, physical, financial and social wellbeing.

Quality education is about ensuring there is inclusive, quality, and lifelong education opportunities for all. As an Ofsted regulated apprenticeship provider, quality education is at the core of our business. We equip our people with skills that go beyond their professional training.

We’re a people business, so it’s incredibly important to us that we make Kreston Reeves an inclusive workplace where all our people feel supported, empowered, valued and appreciated. Reducing inequalities ensures that we inclusively facilitate and empower our colleagues, clients and communities, to achieve their goals and outcomes enabling them to flourish and thrive.

With the Government’s commitment to ending the UK’s domestic contribution to man-made climate change by 2050, we recognise that we must play our part in making this a reality. We have been carbon neutral since the end of 2021, but we want to go further in decreasing our carbon footprint, with a longer-term goal of becoming net zero.
