ESG Charter
Following a formal Environmental, Social and Governance review Framestore has developed a clear action plan to further respond to the global challenges our society faces today and to ensure that we operate as a responsible business. This charter serves as a framework to set out our approach and commitments to running our business ethically and sustainably.
Our review resulted in a set of bespoke recommendations and best practice guidance and a roadmap for Framestore to follow in order to improve performance year-on-year.
We will work collaboratively with all our stakeholders - employees, clients, suppliers and investors to ensure we are as effective as possible in addressing our responsibilities and ESG factors.
We will continually review and monitor our approach so that it can evolve to reflect the changing needs of our stakeholders and society.
We will empower all our people with the knowledge, skills and resources to understand and advise on ESG and to enable individuals to take positive action.
