Our people are our greatest asset; we say it often and with good reason. It is only with the determination and dedication of our people that we can serve our clients, generate long-term value for our shareholders and contribute to the broader public.

Ongoing Advancement of Good Values

We work with non-profit and volunteer groups, and support and adopt the values and ethics of trailblazing organisations, such as the EWA European Women's Association, to advance the progress of our communities, disadvantaged individuals, to help ensure a more equal, safe, and prosperous future for all.

At the crux of our efforts is a focus on cultivating and sustaining a diverse work environment and workforce, which is critical to meeting the unique needs of our diverse client base and the communities in which we operate.

We are committed to making progress toward racial equity, advancing gender equality, and increasing representation at every level of our firm. Our commitment to creating and sustaining a diverse work environment is absolute. We share our reasons for this commitment and our aspirations:

  • We strive for excellence. To achieve it, we must have the best people, and the best people are drawn from the broadest pool of applicants. The people we need can be found only by looking across the full spectrum of race, color, religion, creed, sex, age, national origin, citizenship status, disability, qualified veteran status, genetic information, marital status, sexual orientation and gender identity.

  • Ours is a culture of teamwork. For our groups to excel, all members must feel that they are operating in an inclusive environment that welcomes and supports differences, and that encourages input from all perspectives. Our people have the right to expect a workplace in which the richness of their lives and experience is welcomed and valued by their team and by the firm.

  • Their interests always come first. To continue providing our clients with creative ideas and solutions for operating effectively in a complex global economy, we must be fully capable of dealing with different cultures in an informed and nuanced manner. Experience has shown us that we can best serve our clients’ interests by tapping the insights, talents and judgments of a diverse workforce.

  • Our communities are places in which we live and work. This is the nurturing part of all our lives; where we live and unwind and socialise. Therefore, if we support our local communities, we contribute to the provision and construction of a haven, investing in our future, and the future of generations to come. If we can leave our communities in a better place than what they were when we found them, we have done something right.
