We remain committed to delivering sustainability and social value

At a time when attitudes to ESG are changing around the world, we think it’s important to reaffirm who we are and what we stand for at Rider Levett Bucknall.

By publishing this report, we reassert our commitment to measuring and managing every aspect of our environmental, social and governance performance, ensuring our business remains at the forefront of responsible and sustainable practice.

RLB has always been committed to sustainability – throughout our 240-year history, minimising waste and using resources wisely have been among our enduring principles. Doing what’s right for the environment informs all our decisions, enabling us to develop integrated solutions to minimise and mitigate the impacts of our industry while taking further steps on our own decarbonisation journey.

We attach equal importance to fulfilling the social aspects of the ESG agenda. We continue to champion diversity, equity and inclusion as we build a workplace where everyone can thrive professionally and personally. Supporting local communities and creating value for wider society through the projects we deliver is also integral to our strategy.

We recognise that to be a sustainable business means not just doing the right thing, but reporting openly and transparently and benchmarking our performance. This is why we invest in developing robust and data-driven governance processes to evidence our compliance with best practice, statutory requirements, and the highest ethical standards.

In this report, we take pride in documenting our ESG performance and the progress we are making for our clients, colleagues and communities. Guided and inspired by our company values, Truth, Trust, Together, Tomorrow, we will strive for continual improvement.
