Our responsible business strategy
We want to use this platform to do the right thing, mobilising the strength of our networks and the expertise of our people.
Responsible business is integral to our company purpose, operating model and strategy. It demonstrates how we are acting as a force for good – creating better outcomes – for today, for tomorrow and for generations to come.
Once our purpose was set, it was integral to demonstrate to our stakeholders how serious we were about being purpose-led. This meant executing on our purpose deeds – such as paying the Real Living Wage; fairly and openly paying our taxes; exceeding the requirements set by the prompt supplier payment code; improving our colleague parental benefits; or defining and having approved our Net Zero targets. We also were the first FTSE signatory of the Good Business Charter because we believed in what it stands for, and its 10 components provide all organisations with operating principles that I believe should define how all businesses work. Demonstrating fairness, equity, integrity, and environmental responsibility should be the norms by which we must live, not just aspire to.
What does it mean to be purpose-led? What does it mean to be a responsible business? And what does it mean to value people, society and the environment as much as profit?
For me, it’s about the big decisions you need to make as a company. To be truly purpose-led, you will have to make some harder choices than companies who (perhaps) focus solely on profit, and in the short-term, some of those choices may seem counterintuitive. But I, like many people I work with in Capita, believe that this approach is not only the right thing to do, we believe it delivers long-term, sustainable benefit to our (and your) business. In short, the hard choices you make now will pay dividends in the future.
