ESG at RPGCC
ESG at RPGCC, our commitment to business sustainability
At RPGCC, we are proud to announce the release of our first ESG report, marking a significant milestone in our journey toward sustainable and responsible business practices. This comprehensive assessment reflects our commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, aligning with our values and the growing expectations of our team, clients and supply chain.
This inaugural ESG report covers our performance for the year ending August 2024 and includes a thorough evaluation of our environmental impact, social contributions, and governance practices. Through this process, we aim to enhance transparency, drive accountability, and build a robust framework for long-term improvement.

ESG at RPGCC, why it matters?
As global attention on sustainability intensifies, businesses must rise to the challenge of integrating responsible practices into every aspect of their operations. At RPGCC, we recognise that ESG is not just about compliance—it’s about making a tangible difference and having a positive impact.
Environmental Stewardship: Understanding and mitigating our impact on the planet is critical to ensuring a sustainable future.
Social Responsibility: Building stronger relationships with our stakeholders, supporting our communities, and fostering an inclusive workplace remain top priorities.
Governance Excellence: Maintaining ethical, transparent, and effective decision-making processes is key to building trust and resilience.
Our ESG strategy reflects these principles and underpins our approach to creating value for our clients, employees, and society.
Our environmental impact
One of the central themes of our first ESG report is our environmental impact assessment, which sets the foundation for ongoing improvement. For the year ending August 2024, we focused on measuring critical metrics, including:
Direct and Indirect Carbon Emissions: We have identified our carbon footprint, covering emissions generated by our direct operations. For this first report we have not included our supply chain.
Energy Consumption: Analysing energy usage across our London office has helped us to highlight areas where we might make improvement.
Resource Use: We have assessed how we utilise resources, aiming to minimise waste and promote responsible consumption.
This exercise has provided us with a baseline for tracking progress and identifying areas where meaningful changes can reduce our environmental footprint.
ESG at RPGCC – Driving positive environmental change
The insights gained from our first ESG report will inform our broader sustainability strategy. Our primary environmental goals include:
Reducing our carbon footprint: We are committed to setting measurable targets for lowering emissions.
Enhancing energy efficiency: Through investments in technology, infrastructure, and operational best practices, we aim to optimise energy use across all business activities.
Promoting resource efficiency: Minimising waste, improving recycling rates, and looking at where we can adopt sustainable procurement practices are essential to reducing our overall environmental impact.
While challenges remain, we are confident that our focus on continuous improvement will drive meaningful outcomes for our business and the environment.
ESG at RPGCC – Our Social and Governance initiatives
In addition to environmental sustainability, our ESG report highlights our efforts to foster positive social and governance outcomes:

Looking ahead: a roadmap for ESG excellence

As we look to the future, we are committed to:
Setting targets: We plan on building on the insights gained from this report, we will define clear, actionable goals to advance our sustainability efforts.
