Purpose with Impact
Together, building better futures
We believe all businesses have a responsibility to use their influence to make a positive impact in the world around them. For their people, their clients & customers, the communities they work in, and ultimately, on the world we all live in.
We take this responsibility seriously and consider it a privilege.
Our purpose – together, building better futures - is at the heart of why we exist, and underpins our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility. It's about the value we create for society and how we make a positive impact within and beyond our firm.
Our People
Our commitment is to continue to develop our friendly, caring professional community where our people can be themselves, reach their full potential and contribute to the continued success and development of the firm. We will work with them to make their role with us ‘the best job they’ll ever have’.
Maintaining and developing our inclusive, diverse, happy, fulfilling and productive working environment is a key priority. Not only for the benefits to our people, but for our firm, our clients and wider society.
Our Communities
We are active in our efforts to give back to our communities. We partner with national charities to support financial education and employability skills programmes for disadvantaged young people. We support our local communities through volunteering, fundraising and donations and our employees in their charitable commitments through matched funding via the Hymans Robertson Foundation. Our ‘Helping Hands’ teams organise fundraising events and collections, facilitate volunteering days and work in partnership with local charities. Follow us to find out more.
Building a more sustainable future means acting now to tackle climate risk. We've pledged to become carbon neutral from 2021, and to halve our 2019/20 carbon footprint by 2025. We're working with our people, clients, customers and suppliers to reduce their carbon footprint too. Climate risks will be an intergral part of our research, advice and services, and how we run our firm.
To achieve our carbon reduction goals we’re working to ‘travel less and travel smarter’. Our power comes from 100% renewable sources and we aim to minimise waste wherever we can. Minimising our environmental impact and developing sustainable business practices is a key element of our commitment to being a socially responsible business.
The Hymans Robertson Foundation
Our skills and areas of expertise make us ideally placed to help address financial education and to improve social inclusion. In 2015 we set up the Hymans Robertson Foundation to help make a difference to the lives of disadvantaged young people by helping to improve their financial literacy. We invest 2% of our profits each year into The Hymans Robertson Foundation.
The Foundation works in partnership with community and charitable organisations across the UK, providing funding and support for projects aimed at improving the lives of young people and communities facing hardship or disadvantage.
