Our purpose is to improve the way the world is led. Sustainability is fundamental to our purpose because it helps us shape the future, today.

As leadership advisors, we’re uniquely positioned to help our clients guide the world toward a better future. To do this, we must lead by example. We’re committing to our sustainability journey so we can fulfill our corporate purpose, meet our stakeholders’ changing expectations, and build a global community of leaders ready to meet the challenges of an increasingly complex world.

We’ve grounded our sustainable business approach in four core areas: within our firm, with our colleagues, with our clients, and in our communities.

While we know the journey is long, we’re proud to be on a path toward a sustainable future.

A Message from Our CEO

Sustainability Highlights

As we shape our vision for the future, we are proud of our recent sustainability accomplishments.

  Governance

• Although RRA is privately owned by its employees, we strive to meet rigorous public company governance standards, including appointing an independent board of directors that oversees our business.
• We also recently appointed our first independent chair of the board.
• Completed a comprehensive materiality assessment to identify the ESG topics of greatest interest to our stakeholders.

  Environment

• Calculated our Scope 1, 2, and relevant Scope 3 emissions for 2019 through 2021. With this data, we pinpointed the key drivers of our environmental footprint and established our first wave of commitments to reduce our environmental impact.
• Reduced real estate footprint by 30% between 2019 and 2022, leading to energy and emissions reductions.

  Colleagues

• Added “sustainable” as a new core value for the firm to complement our current list, emphasizing its importance to our business.
• Published our first Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Progress Report. This report is a vital step forward to set clear, measurable goals and a baseline to which we will hold ourselves accountable in our mission to advance equity and equality for historically under-represented communities.

  Clients

• Continued to partner with organizations to address complex sustainability and societal challenges and opportunities.

  Communities

• Established RRA Gives Back, a colleague-led, charitable giving program with donation matching that has supported nearly 300 causes since its launch in March 2022.
