Escalent as a responsible and sustainable business
CSR isn’t just about doing good—it’s about doing right. At Escalent, corporate social responsibility means acting with purpose, reflecting the values of our employees, and showing our clients that we walk the talk. That’s why we embed ESG strategy across every part of our business. Not only is it the right thing to do, but it also helps the bottom line.
Key commitments in Escalent’s ESG strategy and roadmap
Environmental Strategy
Getting our house in order:
- Remote operations result in inherently low emissions; cycle-to-work scheme in place where relevant and feasible for those employees travelling into work
- Proactively reducing carbon emissions, track CO2e performance, and report our progress through EcoVadis-audited data
- Continuous improvement of sustainability across business operations and supply chain, including reducing the impact of our projects by travelling less and offsetting unavoidable carbon emissions where possible
- Service-based business model means minimal ESG risks in the supply chain
- Commitment to responsible supply chain management aligned with company values
Supporting our clients:
We help our clients make smart, sustainable choices. Our Climate Thinktank team—all trained in Carbon Literacy—brings fresh, expert thinking to everything from products and services to campaigns and big-picture strategies. We keep it practical, grounded in what real people care about, and always aim for the highest standards. Because sustainability only works when it works in the real world.

- Leading, working and connecting through a culture of inclusion, which is the heartbeat of all we do
- Embedding equity into systems and applying cultural intelligence in operations
