Our environment

Building relationships with existing and prospective clients is essential to the way we do business.

We acknowledge that our preferred way of working impacts the environment and we are aware of the steps to be taken to mitigate this impact.

We strongly believe that working side-by-side with our clients delivers the best results, and so we encourage our consultants to travel to client sites whenever appropriate. We acknowledge that our preferred way of working impacts the environment, and we are conscious of the steps needed to mitigate this impact.

To better understand our impact on the environment, Efficio has implemented the tools to analyse our carbon footprint resulting from flight emissions. We aspire to extend this analysis to also cover the impact of our direct and indirect energy and other  indirect emissions. Summary reports on our environmental impact are shared and reviewed by our ESG and sustainability community of practice. We subsequently take practical action to mitigate our impact on the environment by purchasing carbon credits to offset our flight emissions. We are also continuing to raise awareness internally on the impact of our business by leveraging company-wide communications and hosting external speakers.  

Our community

Many members of our global community are committed to charitable activity, and we encourage and support this expression of individual contribution to society.  We also harness this spirit of humanitarianism by bringing together the skills and expertise of our consultants in collective endeavours. 

We have: 

  • Established a Charity Committee through which Efficio employees can contribute to charitable causes on a company-wide scale 
  • Regularly engaged in fundraising events, including participation in the Royal Parks Half Marathon and Macmillan’s world’s biggest coffee morning 
     

Armed forces covenant

Efficio recognises the value that actively serving personnel, reservists, veterans, and military families bring to society and our business. To demonstrate our support, we have signed the Armed Forces Covenant, an agreement that highlights the commitment to help members of the Armed Forces community, including the pledge to support the employment of veterans and their families.

Diversity, equity and inclusion

Diverse perspectives and experiences are key to solving the increasingly complex challenges of today. We are committed to embedding diversity and inclusion in all aspects of our business – from within our workplace to the work we do for our clients.
