Creating a better tomorrow

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBLITY
RIDER LEVETT BUCKNALL

As an independent global practice of consultants, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is at the core of our values, and firmly anchored in our corporate culture.

Our CSR programmes reflect how we align our values, behaviours and business practices with the expectations and needs of our stakeholders, including customers, employees, suppliers, local communities, regulators, special interest groups and society as a whole.

At Rider Levett Bucknall (RLB), we understand this involves going beyond legal minimums, and that doing the right thing matters. We engage with our stakeholders, and then act responsibly.

We are committed to "Creating a Better Tomorrow" and go beyond just saying so, we go on to prove it:

We address CSR under 4 core pillars: People, Clients, Environment and Community

RLB is committed to:
  • Fairness and Equality of Opportunity
  • An inclusive and safe working environment

  • Purposeful stakeholder engagement
  • Delivering financial, social and environmental value
  • Communicating, monitoring and improving our CSR performance
  • Working with clients to create a better tomorrow
