Earlier this month, Continuum was re-certified with the ESGmark, the badge for a community of people and organisations that care about the planet and society.
We’re the only UK-based financial planning firm to have achieved ESGmark certification and are incredibly proud to have done so.
The ESGmark is a symbol of trust and distinction that allows consumers to identify organisations who believe in and act to deliver a fairer, more sustainable future.
It reflects our commitment to responsible business practices, sustainability, and the ongoing pursuit of excellence in everything we do.
Environmental, social and governance standards matter. Companies have obligations that extend beyond simply turning a profit.
We must act as stewards of the planet, and carefully manage relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, and the communities in which we operate.
At Continuum, we are always striving to improve our positive impact on people and the planet to deliver a fairer, more sustainable future.
Environmentally, we’ve worked hard to reduce the paper we post out to advisers and have adopted virtual meetings with them to reduce travel.
Socially, our client education programme was highlighted as a demonstration of the ongoing support we provide clients to better educate them on financial matters.
And on the governance side, our compliance and training and competence frameworks are strong, with little riskier business.
Investors increasingly see companies that perform well on ESG as themselves less risky, better positioned for the long term and better prepared for uncertainty.
And it’s only by always acting fairly and transparently in everything we do that we can build the trust with clients that’s essential if we are to help them live their best possible lives.
Doing the right thing is always the right thing to do.
As always, thanks for listening.
Martin.
