Corporate Responsibility
Now for a better tomorrow
At Baker Tilly we are dedicated to shaping a socially responsible and sustainable future. Now, for tomorrow.
Our approach to corporate responsibility stands on four pillars embodying what we do as a practice, and how we influence future ESG thinking.
Pillar 1: Internal sustainability and ESG
We know our most assets are our people, so we continuously invest in them by encouraging continuous learning and creating a purpose-driven culture where they can feel connected to our ESG mission. We’re promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and celebrate each other’s culture. We admit the gaps and actively working on closing them. Our ESG champions are our voice, leading by example.
We aim to reduce our carbon footprint, and as part of the MHA family we support the ambitious plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero carbon (“net zero”) by 2050 by ensuring we perform all reasonable procedures to aim to be net zero organisation by 2030 and not later than 2040 as a global group.
We foster accountability on all levels and across all areas, including ESG. We are leading our global network in assurance and best practice working closely with regulators, policy makers and sectors to guide and where appropriate, influence approach to sustainability. We’re transparent and offer a clear picture via external reports, and internal briefings.
Pillar 2: Our services suite
We believe that corporate sustainability doesn’t have to come at the cost of corporate profitability. When done right, ESG can be a powerful driver of long-term value, resilience, and competitive advantage.
- Advisory and Regulatory Assurance services: Including compliance with regulatory and voluntary reporting standards, emission reporting, ESG program design and sector-specific ESG advisory
- Audit services: Involving a structured approach to identifying, evaluating, and addressing potential exposures. This includes conducting detailed climate risk assessments to understand both physical and transitional risks.
Pillar 3: The Baker Tilly network
As part of the wider Baker Tilly network, we provide a global approach. Sharing best practices, and working with our international colleagues we keep learning, and implementing new strategies both internally, and in our service offering.
Pillar 4: Sustainable thought leadership
We're committed to lead by example in the ESG space beyond advising clients, and walking the walk ourselves. We're ambitiously aim to shape the conversation and drive innovation acrtoss sectors and countries. This includes:
- Purpose with Profit: Aligning ESG with business strategy to create long-term, profitable impact.
- Sector innovation: We aim to be the catalyst for new concepts and ideas in the industries we serve. We don't want our clients to simply follow the trends and regulations, our goal is to help theym stay ahead in the ESG game.
- Dynamic ESG: Our practical, results-driven approach that bridges the gap between sustainability theory and commercial reality.
