Peter Hennessey and Sarah Gilmour introduce Hymans Robertson annual Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) report for the year 2020/21.

When we published our previous annual report, the impacts of the covid-19 pandemic were beginning to be felt, by individuals, societies and economies across the globe, but no one could have imagined what lay ahead.  2020/21 was undoubtedly an extraordinary year and probably our busiest ever in terms of the firm’s CSR activity. This year’s report provides a great overview of what we’ve achieved, both in response to the immediate needs created by the pandemic and in terms of real progress we’ve made in each of the areas our CSR work encompasses. 

Our CSR Strategy is underpinned by the firm’s purpose ‘Together, building better futures’ and centres on three core strands:

• Our Communities: Encompassing our charity and volunteering activities, primarily delivered through the Hymans Robertson Foundation, our Helping Hands teams in each of our offices and the volunteering and fund-raising activity of everyone across firm.
• Our People: Covering our wellbeing activities, communication and engagement.
• Our Environment: Delivering on our climate pledge and ensuring that sustainability lies at the heart of the way that we run our firm
