CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY
Strategy
At RyteGate we commit to do the right thing in our own business and to be a catalyst for change in
the world around us.
1. Creating value through responsible business
Our commitment to corporate responsibility goes well beyond embedding social,
environmental and economic integrity into the fabric of our business. We aim to leverage
our core skills and activities to help our clients address CR issues while acknowledging
the need to also address them in our own business.
We want to be part of the global conversation and movement towards responsible
business practices that create positive change in the world. We want to be part of the
solution.
Our strategy focuses on two key elements:
i. Do the right thing, which means playing our part in promoting responsible
business issues that are central to our business – from the quality of our services
and building an inclusive workplace, to our engagement with communities and
our environmental footprint.
ii. Be a catalyst for change, which is about using our skills, voice and relationships
to work with others and influence activities that make a difference, create
change and have a lasting impact on the world around us.
Today we’re helping organizations around the world strengthen their own corporate responsibility
agendas through the many services we provide every day.
- We review, consult and transform thousands of businesses around the globe every year.
- We offer services that focus on enhancing trust and transparency between government, business
and society.
- We contribute to the development of the standards that underpin financial systems and
industries.
- We’re developing new ways of measuring environmental, social and economic impacts, managing
risks and providing assurance to our clients through our Sustainable Business Solutions practice.
- We’re managing our own impact, but we’re also uniquely positioned as a professional services
firm to help integrate and foster change around corporate responsibility issues in ways that have
more widespread effects.
Our leadership ladders set minimum standards and provide guidance for each focus area around how
each firm in the RyteGate network can achieve leadership in corporate responsibility. Each of the four
steps on the leadership ladders considers four dimensions: behaviour change; strategy and policy;
measurement and engagement; and impact assessment.
To help us move up the ladders, we continued to enhance our global RyteGate communications
initiative to articulate tangible ways our people can integrate corporate responsibility into their day-to-day
work with clients, each other and our communities.
