Our ESG Commitment
In recent years, all industries have been compelled to assess their role and responsibilities to tackle Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues. Eque2 recognises the significance of ESG in both our own and our clients’ business performance, and we are committed to being part of the solution in the transition to a more sustainable world.
Our commitment to ESG
Environmental
To prevent global temperatures from exceeding 1.5°C, global greenhouse gas emissions need to be halved by 2030. The race to net-zero is on, and all organisations have a responsibility to take a leadership role in the transition to a low carbon economy. This year we have taken our first steps to minimise our impact, conducting a baseline assessment of our Scope 1, 2 and partial Scope 3 emissions, and setting reduction targets.
Social
According to UK mental health charity Mind, at least 1 in 6 workers experience mental health problems. We take our responsibility to care for our employees seriously and promoting awareness and open conversation is critical to good mental health in the workplace. Visit our Careers page to learn about the range of ways we commit to looking after our people.
Governance
Eque2’s reputation as an ethical and responsible business is upheld by our strict governance practices. We have stringent systems, policies and processes in place to ensure that our business adheres to and maintains the highest standards of corporate responsibility. We also continuously strive to improve our practices, staying abreast of market and legislative changes and maintaining compliance.
Advancing the SDGs
The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were established by the United Nations (UN) in 2015. They form a part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which provides a global blueprint for peace and prosperity for both people and the planet. Eque2 has aligned our ESG goals to three of the UN’s SDGs. To demonstrate our contribution to each, we have contextualised our commitment to the global goals through the actions and targets shown here.
