Fighting climate change

We want to do all we can to protect the future of our planet; we are committed to reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2030.

We are implementing new strategies and systems to monitor, manage and lessen RSM’s impact on the environment, including:
 electricity from renewable sources;
 reducing paper usage and spend in our offices by moving towards digital solutions/storage;
 centralised travel booking platform, providing data on emissions;
 promoting and educating climate awareness leading to an environmentally proactive workforce;
 offsetting residual emissions with accredited carbon offset projects;
 monitoring performance and progress in achieving these aims at board level and acting on those findings.

We have an environmental operations group, that engages with staff, raising awareness of the best ways they can contribute to a more sustainable future, as well as holding RSM accountable for the ways our work impacts the environment.

We ensure suitable presence on-site and have cut unnecessary journeys – planning and management meetings where appropriate are conducted on Teams, and utilising software to enabling virtual meetings; matching our hybrid approach to that of our clients. Where possible we “double-up” on-site and encourage public transport use wherever feasible; leading to a significant reduction of business mileage (65% since 2021).

We share files electronically and use an online deliverables portal to ensure documents are shared/uploaded securely and remotely reducing the carbon impact of printing (over a 78% reduction in the past 3-years).

RSM subscribes to EcoVadis and is assessed on the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme and Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting; reflecting RSM’s dedication to reduce it’s impact on the environment. Feedback from the assessments will shape improvements to our environmental strategy.

We are a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact, demonstrating our commitment to deliver sustainable and socially responsible working practices worldwide.

Covid-19 recovery

The coronavirus pandemic has caused disruption and uncertainty across the globe with many businesses still facing unprecedented challenges as a result and highlighting the importance of preparing your business for emergencies.

To support clients during the period of recovery, we provided clients with webinars and briefings on key issues faced as part of the Covid-19 pandemic and set up an online coronavirus hub with the latest updates and offering support and guidance. Our experts shared their advice for rebuilding and succeeding in a significantly changed world and would continue to share this with buyers.

Tackling economic inequality

RSM is committed to creating a culture in which diversity, inclusion and equality of opportunity are actively promoted. Some of the measures we have to tackle economic inequality are:
 inclusive and accessible recruitment practices - recruiting individuals based on merit, not background
 reasonable adjustments made to accommodate candidates with disabilities
 job descriptions are gender neutral in language
 focus on work-life balance: member of Working Families to support employees through their various life stages
 transparent promotion, pay and reward processes
 strong social and community agenda focused on ‘giving something back’. All staff have a volunteer day to use with a charity of their choice
 clearer salary ranges ensuring consistency of equity for all employees
 moderation of bonus and salary increase decisions

RSM UK are an accredited Real Living Wage (RLW) employer and chooses to apply RLW rates as a minimum rate of pay for all its employees, including all its temporary/casual workers, placement students, consultants and sub-contractors, irrespective of age.

We have made considerable progress in the delivery of our Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion strategy “Listen. Educate. Act.” through dialogue, understanding and action. We have several employee networks who all play a crucial role in the delivery of our Listen. Educate. Act Strategy. Eg the Empower group provides support for women; and is also designed to support and advocate gender equality, in particular pay and supporting women through career development and into leadership roles.

We issue information on our gender pay gap annually, and last year published our first ethnicity pay gap report as part of our continued transparency and dedication to becoming a truly diverse and inclusive firm. We will continue with this transparency and will publish reports such as these annually. Our most recent reports can be found on our website.

Equal opportunity

RSM is committed to creating a culture in which diversity and equality of opportunity are actively promoted and in which unlawful discrimination is not tolerated.

Equality and diversity are essential factors that contribute to the strength of our business; we work continuously towards building and maintaining an inclusive environment so that people of all identities, backgrounds, and cultures are comfortable bringing their true selves to work.

We believe the achievement of excellence can only be attained through recognising the value of every individual. We aim to create an environment that allows everyone to achieve their full potential. Recognising and celebrating our diverse employees, clients and suppliers helps us recruit and retain talent, drive better business performance and, most importantly, enrich the lives of individuals.

For our firm - a diverse workforce recognising and celebrating its different talents.
For our clients - a healthy reflection of who we are and what we can do.
For our people - an inclusive working environment with opportunity for all.

We have a Diversity Steering Group which has been appointed to help create a diverse and inclusive environment. We also have diversity office champions who are a local contact for views and issues in relation to diversity and inclusion in our workplace, ensuring that everyone within RSM has a point of contact in relation to these issues.

We are members of Business in the Community, the Valuable 500, Neurodiversity in Business, Disability Confident Employer, and Stonewall, and have external partners such as Bright Network, Women in Business and Working Families.

RSM has recently joined The Royal National Children’s Springboard Foundation. Employees are matched with young adults from disadvantaged backgrounds to provide advice and the beginnings of a professional network, helping to develop skills in areas like CV writing and goal setting.

Wellbeing

RSM have created a culture where there is no stigma attached to any aspect of wellbeing, putting in place early interventions and developing a working environment and culture in which employees can 'work well and thrive'. Working in a happy, healthy, inclusive, and supportive work environment can improve aspects of both personal and working aspects of life.

To raise awareness RSM regularly hosts events based on a variety of topics and creates several thought leadership and publications. Topics have included supporting carers to balance their responsibilities and work; and wellbeing through Covid19.

We are members of several independent programmes and external groups, designed to help achieve best practice, inform our relationship with employees, suppliers, and clients, and create an environment that allows all to achieve their full potential.

Our managers are trained to recognise the signs of potential mental ill health and encourage our employees to talk about their concerns. All employees undertake Mental Wellbeing training equipping them with the tools to maintain their mental health and support their colleagues to do the same. RSM have trained Mental Health First Aid Champions who have the skills needed to support the mental wellbeing of colleagues.

RSM employees have access to an Employee Assistance Programme to support their mental health and wellbeing. This is a confidential service offering guidance and support 24/7, including for legal issues and advice on health issues; emotional issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement; work related concerns and support to managers from counsellors.

RSM provide 'HealthMatters' portal to help our employees look after their health in and outside of work. 'HealthMatters' provides access to information, support, and advice on a range of topics such as eating well, lowering your cholesterol, looking after your back, exercising, outdoor activities and preventing aches and pains whilst sitting at a desk.
