“Our social and environmental policy aims to ensure that social, environmental and ethical considerations are taken into account in all aspects of our business activities. Rathbones’ Social & Environmental Committee (SEC), which I chair, oversees the continual development and implementation of the Group’s environmental, social and community policies.”
“During 2008, the SEC appointed Carbon Smart to assist with the collection, verification and reporting of carbon footprint data for our UK offices and full details of this and all our other activities for 2008 is available here or as part of our 2008 report and accounts which can be found under investor relations. 2009's report will be available in March.
“Our corporate responsibility report also covers our activities in the areas of socially responsible investment, the importance we put on our people, environmental concerns and community activities.
“We are pleased that our efforts in addressing social, environmental and ethical challenges continue to be recognised by the FTSE4Good policy committee, and that the company remains a constituent of the FTSE4Good Index Series.”
