At Zaffre Advisors we believe that all companies have an important role in contributing positively to the world we share.
We have conducted and published extensive research on the development of Sustainability Accounting, and we have found that when companies go the extra mile and generate their own regulations and positive practices, this can result in tangible commercial gains through the fostering of lasting global relationships and the generation of positive media attention.
We specialise in helping companies to set up CSR practices which embody the values of their business and which lead to deep, evolving relationships within industry. We aim to lead by example in this area, which is why – for some charitable organisations whose values are aligned with our own – we offer our services on a voluntarily basis.
As part of our commitment to the kind of positive practices which CSR embodies, we encourage our staff to incorporate responsible values into their work. This means that at Zaffre Advisors, each individual is empowered to take responsibility for delivering measurable value to our clients while minimising environmental and social impacts.
Zaffre Advisors is committed to ensuring our environmental and social impacts are positive. We have taken tangible actions to achieve this:
-
We source recycled goods where possible.
-
An electronic document management system is used, and we are working to achieve a paperless office.
-
Our staff are allowed to donate a portion of their working hours every year to a charity of their choice.
-
We operate tele/video conferencing to reduce unnecessary travel.
-
Staff and partners use public transport whenever possible and carshare where possible
-
We participate in local schools outreach programs which give underprivileged students the chance to gain experience of a commercial environment.
-
We support a number of community initiatives in our area, and participate regularly in university careers events, not only for our own recruitment but as a venue to share our values.
We are continually reviewing how we can improve on our efforts and staff are actively involved in developing further ways in which we can make a difference.
We believe that by maintaining a positive record as a conscientious employer, by acting responsibly and with integrity at all times, and keeping our values in mind, we will gain tangible commercial benefits while simultaneously benefiting our community.
