RLB is committed to be a truly sustainable global business. Our ESG goals are to be a good corporate citizen by achieving net zero; reducing our own impact on the environment; mitigating the environmental impact of the built environment through our client advisory services; investing in our people; and giving back to local communities.
We measure our ESG performance in line with our clients’ needs and current market standards. We have four internal pillars – Environment, Clients, People and Community – which have been the bedrock of our ESG framework since 2008 and demonstrates our commitment to sustainable business practices. These pillars are fully aligned to ESG and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as per the image below. We are transparent about our targets and achievements. We report our performance against the SDGs clearly and communicate these internally and externally.
ESG runs throughout RLB’s sectors and service streams as exemplified through our three new Sustainability Working Committees that each focus on a different area:
Knowledge and embed: Focusing on training and competency development across the business on topics surrounding e.g. ESG, sustainability, climate change and social value.
Operations: Ensuring RLB’s ESG strategy is translated into tactical projects; improving knowledge-sharing between teams for bids and awards; and using digital technology to drive improved performance, monitoring, reporting and efficiencies.
Industry engagement: Engaging with external industry bodies and sector peers to learn, share knowledge, and feedback internally; and pursue more profile-raising opportunities.
Three Winning Facts:
- Solid commitment to net zero, social value and ethical governance.
- Embedding ESG across the business through our Sustainability Working Committees.
- Clear and transparent communication against the UN SDGs.
