Our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) impact report

This summer we released our 2021/22 ESG impact report, covering activity from June 2021 to December 2022.

This captures the continued work we have done to contribute towards making a positive impact for our clients, colleagues and wider communities and also outlines our future commitments.

It reports on how we are striving to build a brighter future through our ESG programme and our Kreston Reeves Foundation. We are aligning our impact with four of the United Nation SDGs – ‘Good health and wellbeing’, ‘Quality education’, ‘Reduced inequalities’ and ‘Climate action’ – and have dedicated a section to each of these in the report.

Since 31 December 2022 we are also very proud to have achieved B Corp certification in recognition of our ESG efforts.

There are over 6,000 certified B Corps™ across 159 industry sectors in 89 countries. To achieve certification, we had to undertake a rigorous and independently verified assessment that encompassed our entire social and environmental performance, from supply chain and input materials to charitable giving and employee benefits. We are required to meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability with recertification every three years.

Chris Turner, Executive Director of B Lab UK, says “We are delighted to welcome Kreston Reeves to the B Corp™ community. This is a movement of companies who are committed to changing how business operates and believe business really can be a force for good. We know that Kreston Reeves are going to be a fantastic addition to the community and will continue driving the conversation forward”.

“We are pleased to have B Corps™ of all shapes and sizes as part of our community – from startups to multinationals and across many different industries. Business is a powerful force and B Corps™ demonstrate that you can do good in any sector. Welcoming Kreston Reeves is an exciting moment because they have an opportunity to lead the way within the Accountancy industry. We and the rest of the B Corp™ community are really pleased to support Kreston Reeves in paving the way for a new way of doing things”.

We recognise the important role we face as a business to act responsibly and hold ourselves accountable for creating long-lasting positive change. This speaks to our purpose beyond profit, which is important to all our stakeholders including you as our alumni family.
