What is Corporate Social Responsibility?

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is about how an organisation operates in a socially and environmentally responsible way. Its purpose is to ensure long-term sustainability and create meaningful value for all stakeholders.

The level of influence a company has through its CSR efforts is shaped by the nature of the industry in which it operates.

At Gi Group UK, we collaborate with employees, candidates, clients, suppliers, and business partners to shape our CSR commitments together. We regularly review our progress and share updates with all interested parties, promoting transparency and continuous improvement.

Over the years, we’ve developed significantly as a responsible business. In 2020, we introduced a focused strategy built around the “3 Es”: Engaging Stakeholders, Employment Initiatives, and Environment. This framework continues to guide our actions and remains at the heart of how we operate.

As we continue our journey through 2025, we remain committed to delivering positive impact in the areas where we can make the greatest difference – with responsibility, sustainability, and collaboration driving everything we do.
