Responsibility

Creating sustainable value

Throughout our operations, we are determined to maintain and expand our sustainability initiatives both internally and externally.

Sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) are at the heart of our business and our initiatives are a continuously evolving process that we are incredibly passionate about. Applying these principles will allow better long-term financial returns for companies and investors, and a closer alignment with the values of our team and society. We believe that tech contributes to the greater good and provides solutions to solve many of the world’s problems and injustices.

    ESG governance at GP Bullhound

    GP Bullhound earns EcoVadis gold sustainability rating.

    We are proud to announce that GP Bullhound has been awarded Gold Medal status by EcoVadis, the world’s largest and most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings, for two consecutive years. This places GP Bullhound in the top 7% of all evaluated financial services companies globally and is a testament to our deep commitment, demonstrated contributions and ongoing activities within corporate social responsibility (CSR).

    BUILDING A MORE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

    With 40 nationalities represented within our team, we champion diversity, respect, education and equal chances for all. Our employee benefits include parental leave, flexible work, healthcare coverage, training and mentoring, and company stock ownership. Our cultural board and Women @GPB groups work on enhancing company culture and gender diversity.

    We consider multiple criteria when selecting the companies we work with, such as their impact on the environment and society, their approach to talent, equality, regulatory compliance, as well as financial health and political risk. GP Bullhound is a member of the British, Swedish, Luxembourg and Hong Kong Private Equity & Venture Capital Associations, and follows and supports the UN Principles for Responsible Investment.

    We have formal compliance policies in place against corruption, bribery and to ensure third-party information security.

    As a way to contribute to a better world now and tomorrow, we also give back a share of our success by supporting charitable non-profit organisations, with emphasis in areas where tech intersects with human rights, education, health, diversity, and the environment.

    With our CSR group and carbon footprint program, we work towards mitigating our environmental impact, by reducing our energy consumption and waste generation, digitalising communications and materials, optimising our archiving with Data Life Cycle Management and server virtualisation, and prioritising sustainable procurement.

    We are proud to support local and international initiatives though our events and network

    GP BULLHOUND GIVES BACK TO LOCAL AND GLOBAL COMMUNITIES

    Future Stars Charity Programme

    The 2022 class of our Future Stars programme participated in a Charity Challenge, where they worked in teams to research, champion and present a charity idea to the
    GP Bullhound Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Committee.
    The students were requested to propose charities and organisations that they would like to contribute towards.

    This exercise enabled us to align the Future Stars scheme with our firmwide desire to give back, drive change for a better world, and integrate social responsibility into every aspect of our deeds. To date, we have directed donations to two Future Stars charity choices – Dharma Bharathi Mission, donating laptops to impoverished schools in India, and Opportunity International’s Micro Banking program, which designs, delivers, and scales innovative financial solutions to help impoverished communities build sustainable livelihoods (94% of those reached in the Micro Banking Program are female).
