Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Policy

Introduction

At Baker Stuart, we are committed to operating responsibly, ethically and sustainably. Corporate Social Responsibility is at the heart of how we do business, ensuring our work has a positive impact on people, communities and the environment. Our  approach aligns with best practice and UK legislation, including the Equality Act 2010, Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, Modern Slavery Act 2015 and Environmental Protection Act 1990.

Who We Are

Baker Stuart is a fully independent workplace consultancy that supports organisations across both private and public sectors. We help simplify workplace change by providing clear,  practical guidance across strategy, change management, transition planning, move management and project delivery.

Our goal is straightforward: to make work better. We do this by focusing on what matters to our clients, delivering insight, value and dependable results, without compromising on quality or our values.

Supporting Our People

Our people are at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to:

  • Creating an inclusive, respectful workplace
  • Offering clear development plans, training and career progression
  • Rewarding contribution through a transparent, merit-based approach
  • Promoting mental health, wellbeing and work-life balance
  • Encouraging personal accountability and integrity


Our expectations are equally clear: we expect our people to act with professionalism, integrity and care, reflecting our values in how they work with each other, our clients and the wider community.

Looking After Our Clients

We believe strong, long-term relationships are built on trust, understanding and consistently doing the right thing. To achieve this, we:

  • Take time to understand each client’s unique goals and challenges
  • Deliver consistent, reliable, high-quality services
  • Communicate clearly, openly and honestly at every stage
  • Uphold the highest standards of professional ethics and confidentiality
  • Commit to continuous improvement in all that we do

Working with Suppliers and Partners

We aim to work only with suppliers and partners who share our commitment to responsible business. This includes:

  • Fair employment practices that align with the Employment Rights Act 1996 and Modern Slavery Act 2015
  • Strong environmental management procedures
  • Health and safety standards that meet or exceed statutory requirements
  • We maintain robust supplier vetting procedures and review our supply chain relationships regularly

Health and Safety

We are committed to protecting the health, safety and welfare of everyone affected by our
activities. Our Health and Safety Policy:

  • Meets the standards set by the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974
  • Is reviewed and updated annually
  • Is communicated clearly to all staff and made available to contractors where appropriate


Our aim is to prevent accidents and work-related ill health and to promote a culture of safety and wellbeing across all areas of our work. 

Environment Responsibility

We understand that our business has an environmental impact and we are committed to minimising it. We actively manage our environmental impact through:

  • Annual review of our Environmental and Sustainability Policy
  • Reducing energy use and promoting greener transport
  • Recycling and responsible waste management
  • Working with environmentally responsible suppliers
  • Complying with all applicable environmental regulations

Supporting Local Communities

We recognise the importance of strong local communities and are proud to contribute in a meaningful way. We do this by:

  • Donating to local charities, youth organisations and community centres
  • Offering staff time and skills for community volunteering activities
  • Prioritising local recruitment where possible to support employment in our area

Measurement and Accountability

Baker Stuart is certified to ISO 9001:2015 (FS 631825) and our Quality Management System underpins our approach to CSR. We monitor performance across all CSR areas and use findings to guide  improvements in policies, procedures and practices.

Outcomes and progress are shared with the Senior Management Team and are considered during strategic planning to ensure that our business leaves a positive societal footprint.

Review and Continuous Improvement

This policy is reviewed annually or when significant changes occur in legislation or our operations.

Updates are communicated to all employees and relevant stakeholders.
