Murgitroyd 2025 2026 ESG Report

Introducing our 2025/2026 ESG Report

We are proud to share our fifth ESG Report, which demonstrates our sustained commitment to giving back to our communities and creating a positive impact beyond our business.

This milestone report also celebrates the fifth anniversary of our Impact team, established in 2020 with a clear purpose: to ensure our values were not just words on a page, but visible in how we operate, how we treat one another, and how we contribute to the world around us.

Impact was built on the belief that small, sustained actions compound into lasting change. Five years on, alongside Murgitroyd's 50th anniversary, this report demonstrates what that commitment has achieved, and why we believe in that principle more than ever.

Please read this latest report and discover our latest ESG initiatives, including how we have:

  • Raised awareness of a wide range of diversity and inclusion topics through employee resources, training and a greater focus on accessibility, encompassing digital, physical, cognitive and attitudinal inclusion
  • Advanced our environmental commitments through ongoing carbon reduction efforts, sustainable business practices and active engagement with industry-wide climate initiatives
  • Adopted a responsible approach to AI innovation, balancing technological advancement with robust governance, human review and accountability
  • Further developed our policy framework in line with evolving legislation and best practice
  • Continued to support colleagues with their own fundraising efforts across a broad range of charities and community projects
