Today, ESG has moved to the top of leadership agendas, and we are helping our clients with their ESG priorities in a variety of ways – from placing Chief Sustainability Officers and working with boards to attract experienced ESG leaders to helping companies build diverse and inclusive leadership teams and cultures.

We also are focused on leading by example on the ESG front, upholding our firm’s values and DE&I principles; pursuing sustainability initiatives and reducing our environmental impact; adhering to our Code of Ethics, and holding ourselves accountable to the highest professional and ethical standards. We are committed to holding ourselves accountable and measuring our progress on our ESG journey publicly on an ongoing basis, and continually seek to learn and incorporate ESG best practices across our organization.
