ESG Statement

CKRE – Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Statement

As an international insurance broker engaged with diverse business communities around the world, we are strongly committed to building environmental sustainability, practicing social responsibility and developing excellence in corporate governance in all that we do.

Environmental Sustainability – we are committed to working in a responsible manner to reducing our impact on the climate, conserving natural resources and meeting our environmental obligations. We ensure that our operational procedures embrace both office and remote working to reduce the travel impact on the environment and we ensure business meetings are conducted only where essential, utilising technology where possible. Communication and record keeping is digitally based negating the need to use physical resources and where they are used we ensure that wherever possible it is sourced in a sustainable manner and any waste recycled. The office environment is maintained in a manner that respects environmental considerations.

Social Responsibility – we are committed to being a socially responsible business by creating an environment of diversity and inclusion and ensuring there is equal opportunity for all. We ensure that we recruit based on ability without bias to gender or ethnicity and recognise our responsibility and the business benefits of having a diverse employee base. Where we operate in in countries outside the UK we ensure that the business is run by local staff with local empowerment and who share our corporate diversity culture. Not only do we see this as a moral responsibility but we know that our teams are motivated and engaged when working in a diverse and inclusive environment.

Corporate Governance – we are committed to a culture dedicated to ethical business behaviour and responsible corporate activity wherever we operate. Guidance is provided to all employees on standards of ethical and responsible behaviour, as we believe this leads to long term and sustainable business success and benefits all in society.

We understand that there is always progress to make to meet our ESG commitments. We are however constantly reviewing ways in which we can improve and develop, ensure that all decision making has an ESG consideration and that we work with customers, suppliers and partners who are equally committed.
