Protecting and enhancing nature
Our ambition is to contribute towards a nature-positive world. Read about how we are achieving this through our operations, our supply chain, and our people.
Our purpose defines why we exist. Our strategy is our shared commitment to making our firm the standout choice for clients, stakeholders and talent. Both are underpinned by our values, which set the expectation for how we interact and help build our culture.
Our purpose, strategy and values
Purpose
We’re a hugely diverse business, bound by our global purpose - to build trust in society and solve important problems.
Our greatest opportunity to deliver our purpose is through meaningful work that makes a difference to our clients and society. We employ thousands of talented people across the UK, equipping them with the skills they need to help solve our public, private and third sector clients’ most pressing problems - building trust and driving inclusive growth alongside them.
This purpose also underpins how we work with our stakeholders. Who we are as an employer. How we run our business. And the ways we contribute to society more broadly, including our work to reduce economic inactivity.

Our strategy
Our strategy sets our focus on the areas that support our ambition to be the pre-eminent firm - standing out as the top choice for our clients and the best talent.
It’s built around three strategic priorities: Clients, Technology and Global. It reflects the depth and breadth of our sector expertise, and our understanding of clients’ issues. It centres our investment in AI, data and cloud alongside our alliance partners. And the power of our network as our clients face increasingly global challenges. These three priorities are underpinned by five foundations that are core to who we are and how we operate: Culture, Brand, Commerciality, Quality and Talent.
Disruption and innovation are all around us. Our strategy allows us to help clients achieve momentum as they seek to create, capture and protect value in a world that demands constant reinvention.
Our values
Our five shared values define how we behave and help us create our culture together. They set the expectations for how we interact with our clients, each other and our communities.
