Everything we do at RRA is about people—from advising our clients on leadership challenges to the development, support, and growth of our own talent. No one can thrive in an environment or culture that doesn’t respect the importance of sustainability, which is why adding ‘sustainable’ to our core values is so important to our firm.

Chief People Officer, Chicago
Members of our global senior leadership team are responsible for embedding sustainability principles into the operations areas where our material issues intersect with their scope of responsibility. This approach to managing sustainability allows us to enable executive sponsorship and coordinate cross-functionally to effectively manage sustainability-related risks and to amplify the firm’s positive impact on the environment and society.
RRA’s independent board of directors also provides oversight of our sustainability programs. Our firm is privately owned by its employee-shareholders, yet we challenge ourselves to meet the same rigorous governance standards of publicly listed companies. As such, we have appointed an independent board of directors that oversees our business, led by an independent board chair.
Our board provides valuable guidance and insights that keep the firm at the forefront of the leadership advisory industry. Board members draw from their diverse backgrounds to represent all relevant interests and constituents. More specifically, the board’s Nominating and Governance Committee has oversight of sustainability related topics. The committee conducts an annual cadence of reviews, supplemented by ad hoc discussions.
The firm’s Global Head of Sustainability and Global Head of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are responsible for programs supporting their respective topic areas. Both report to members of the global leadership team.
The Audit and Risk Committee conducts an annual enterprise risk assessment to determine the most significant risks to the sustainability of the company, as well as the controls in place and leaders responsible for managing each risk. The board’s Nominating and Governance Committee oversees sustainability related risks and issues.
We’ve embarked on the journey to embed sustainable practices into our business.
We celebrate our colleagues’ entrepreneurial spirit and their unique skills, experiences, and perspectives.
We take pride in giving back to the communities where we live and work through financial support, volunteering, and partnerships.
We’re proud to embed sustainable principles into our client services through distinct practice areas.
