ESG INTEGRATION & STRATEGY

Our integration framework outlines specific ambitions and actions that will enable us to accelerate sustainable and inclusive growth for the benefit of our internal and external stakeholders. We determine our ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) priorities through a series of material assessments that also works for our organization’s broader sustainable and inclusive growth strategy. We lay out our resulting ESG framework with specific targets and objectives through our work with clients and how we interact with other stakeholders such as our suppliers, communities, partners, peer organizations, and others, to broaden the impact that enables us to accelerate sustainable and inclusive growth for the world.

Oversight of ESG Integration

We established an ESG policy in 2022 that is overseen by the Executive Board as a sign of our commitment to the environment and society at large. This policy provides a framework for managing our ESG risks, impacts, and opportunities. We have also constituted a management-level Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) committee of senior members from key functions across the company which is chaired by a senior management team to further reinforce our vision and focus on ESG. The ESG Committee reports to the Executive Board and the Board of Directors on the Company’s ESG strategy and the roadmap to achieve set targets and also delegates responsibility for the detailed review of new and existing strategies to ensure consistency in their integration of ESG objectives.

Accountability and Transparency

Driven by the belief that ESG priorities should be incorporated in a consistent manner towards any strategy, we are committed to continually enhancing our transparency and accountability – to our clients, people, and our stakeholders. We believe that the most effective way to integrate ESG factors and augment our analysis, we take up an approach that is guided by mission, vision and values. We discuss urgent issues and support large-scale solutions while upholding our independence and neutrality as professionals.

Progress

Our technological innovation has been continuously integrated with the required ESG policies. We, as a mindful organization, aspire to make a positive impact having wide-ranging effects on the environment and the economy in the decisions we make. We set high requirements for performance, measurement, and ethical business practices, and we look for stakeholders who share our values.
