Global Sustainability Policy | 2025
As the world’s largest group of dedicated sustainability experts and as a fully certified B Corp™, we are committed to managing our environmental and social impacts for the benefit of all our stakeholders.
Aligned to the advice we provide to our clients, we operate with transparency when communicating our progress.
Both our UK business and Anthesis Lavola have an Environmental Management System (EMS) certified to ISO 14001:2015. The EMS applies to the management of our environmental aspects related to the management of Anthesis offices in providing sustainability consultancy services to public and private organisations.
We produce an annual Communication on Progress (CoP) report to monitor our commitment to the UNGC principles.
Please contact Andy Marsh if you have any questions on the Anthesis Global Sustainability Policy.
To ensure a sustainable best-practice approach and to deliver meaningful impact at a global scale, we commit to:
- Monitor and report progress against our Corporate Impact Goals, which are aligned to United Nations SDGs and the B Corp Impact Areas. Our Global Corporate Impact Team drive and track progress in monthly meetings and report to Anthesis ExCom and Board.
- Use our membership to UNGC, B Corp, Ecovadis and WBCSD to demonstrate and drive forward our sustainability commitments.
- Manage and reduce our negative environmental impacts by committing to our Science Based Target (SBTi) and implementing an emission reduction strategy that focuses on maximising energy efficiency, preventing pollution, choosing lower emission transport options, maximising resource efficiency and implementing circular solutions, minimising homeworking impacts, and protecting biodiversity.
- Progress towards our 2040 Net Zero commitment through our Carbon Reduction Plan.
- Offset our legacy emissions, both of the Anthesis business but also of those companies that have joined us along our journey.
- Drive positive impacts for our communities through volunteering, sustainability education, and charitable giving on a local, national, and international level.
- Activate sustainable performance with our clients to address the planet’s critical challenges facing society today – climate, nature, human rights, diversity and inclusion, and health.
- Manage our business in a responsible way, operating fairly and transparently, and expect our business partners and supply chain to do the same.
- Comply with all applicable legislation, regulations, and codes of practice, as well as voluntary commitments where appropriate.
- Uphold human rights in our business and supply chain by adopting best practices as set out in the International Standards and Principles.
- Procure goods and services that match our values, help to reduce our negative impacts, and deliver positive impacts on the environment and society.
- Treat our employees fairly – fair working conditions, opportunities for development, equal opportunities, and protecting their health, safety, and wellbeing.
- Promote and communicate the ‘Anthesis Spirit’ to our employees, to reflect the importance of how we engage with each other, our clients and the wider world. The Anthesis Spirit is our behaviour code and how we go about delivering true impact.
