Strategy
Christie Group recognises the growing significance of climate change and its potential impacts on our business, stakeholders and the wider economy. As a professional services group operating primarily across the UK and Europe, our climate-related strategy focuses on managing proportionate risks and identifying opportunities that are relevant to our business model, while supporting the transition to a lower-carbon economy.
The Group is at an early stage of its climate-related strategic planning. In evaluating climate objectives, the Board and constituent company boards focus on adopting proportionate and relevant actions aligned with our operations and stakeholder expectations.
As a professional services business without manufacturing supply chains, climate-related risks and opportunities are expected to arise primarily from transition risks associated with evolving regulation, client expectations, and changes in travel and workplace practices, rather than from physical climate risks.
Direct impact on the environment
We believe that our direct impact on the environment is limited. We have put common sense measures in place to minimise waste and reduce our carbon footprint.
