Our commitment
With offices in 157 countries and a collective workforce of 46,755 people, we recognise the scale of our impact on social issues in and outside our profession, our responsibility to the environment and the communities we operate in across the globe. That is why Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is so important to us, and why CSR is embedded into our HLB network strategy 'Innovative People, Brighter Futures'. Our initiatives empower us to reach the goals we’re committed to, in creating a more inclusive and sustainable future for all.
“HLB’s global reach presents a truly great opportunity to make a difference. Through the strategic objectives of our CSR strategy, we can ensure that we have a positive impact on the communities we serve and operate in. We will also continue to have a voice on, and constructively contribute to addressing some of the most pressing issues around the world.”

HLB Communities Day
