Our approach to ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) is part of who we are.
Our first ESG report replaces and builds upon our CSR reporting. Working with our leading UK and Ireland Sustainability & ESG team we have made significant progress in the identification of additional ‘material’ areas, under which we are currently strengthening our disclosures (public reporting of ESG targets and performance).
As an employee-owned business, our governance is demonstrated through our transparent structures, diversified decision-making, and co-owner (employee) empowerment to ensure they have a voice to influence our strategy and decisions. Being a responsible business is part of our founding principles, values and has guided our independent Charitable Trust’s work since 2008.
We have been CarbonNeutral® certified since 2018 and we set up our ‘Beyond Carbon Neutral Group’ in summer 2021 to focus on ways in which Turley as a business can:
- Further reduce our carbon footprint
- Aim to be a net zero organisation by 2050 (or sooner if we can)
- Encourage co-owner engagement in carbon reduction projects
We also achieved Bronze Carbon Literate Organisation accreditation in 2023 and are working towards B Corp status.
Our ESG focus areas include:
Environmental
- Climate and Carbon
- Resource use, responsible sourcing, waste and recycling
- Carbon Literacy training with a goal to attain ‘Silver’ accreditation in 2024
