Ravenscroft have an active ESG committee that is focused on reducing the environmental impact of their business. As a group that covers the 3 Crown Dependencies, the carbon footprint from travel between offices is a significant percentage of overall emissions. This is being reduced through more sustainable travel, via boat and train rather than flying and the company often opt for virtual meetings to minimise unnecessary travel.
The most positive sustainable impact Ravenscroft have is through encouraging investment into portfolios that focus on environmental solutions. As a nation of wealthy individuals it is within our power to invest in a way that addresses the climate and biodiversity crisis, in doing so we can help to generate sustainable prosperity for future generations.
