GRI guidelines index

In putting together this corporate social responsibility report, we were guided by the G3 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (GRI G3) prepared by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).

In this report, we have concentrated on those GRI indicators we have identified as material to our business. We have provided both information in narrative format and qualitative data where it is available. This table provides a guide on the extent of our reporting against the GRI G3. After taking advice from our assurors, we have not included indicators within GRI G3 that we feel are not relevant to a professional firm. For future reports, we will look to supplement GRI indicators with additional measures where these are appropriate and material to our business.
