Sustainability
Our corporate sustainability policy
encompasses the way we do business
and interact with our people, our
clients, our suppliers, our communities
and the environment around us. Our
commitment to corporate sustainability
is in line with our purpose of unlocking
global understanding and our values
(we partner, we pioneer, we progress, and
we deliver), and aims to deliver continual
improvement in our economic, social
and environmental performance.
THE RWS FOUR PILLARS OF SUSTAINABILITY
OUR ENVIRONMENT
•
•
•
Reduce energy consumption and emissions
Reduce waste, increasing re-use and recycling
Take actions to improve the environment
In 2020 RWS joined the United Nations Global
Compact initiative, a voluntary leadership platform
for the development, implementation and disclosure
of responsible business practices. Our commitment
to sustainability is channelled through speci昀椀c goals
which underpin our actions, operations and reputation
and are aligned with the SDGs. RWS participated in the
Early Adopter Programme, disclosed our progress on
the new Communication on Progress digital platform
and had the opportunity to provide targeted feedback
to shape the platform last year before its full release
earlier this year.
OUR PEOPLE
RWS is committed to achieving and maintaining high
standards of corporate sustainability in its business
activities and presents its corporate sustainability
strategy to the Board annually.
