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
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.
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 specific goals which
underpin our actions, operations and reputation and are
aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In 2022 we 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 before its full release in 2023.
Following engagement with all our stakeholders, RWS has
mapped its sustainability goals and actions to four pillars.
