As we continue to navigate the dynamic landscape of the professional services industry, it is crucial for us to reflect on our values and commitments. At Johnston Carmichael, we believe sustainability is the moral compass which sets out a broad set of principles to which we as an organisation aspire to and ESG is the reporting framework which brings that sustainable ambition to life.

Our ESG strategy allows us to show that we are dedicated to these core values of doing the right thing, leading our future, remaining relevant and standing in other people’s shoes. Johnston Carmichael is an environmentally and socially responsible firm which acts with trust, honesty, and transparency in everything we do.  

Our ESG mission is crystal clear: to make sure that Johnston Carmichael thrives financially, ethically, and environmentally as we jointly stride towards a world with a net-zero footprint.​

In this section, you’ll find out more about our work in each of the core sustainability areas Environment, Social and Governance and you’ll meet some of our team who play a role in making all of this possible.

“In a world that is becoming increasingly interconnected, the impact of our actions extends far beyond the confines of our offices. At Johnston Carmichael, we have always prided ourselves on delivering exceptional professional services, but we recognise that excellence goes hand in hand with responsibility. It is not just about achieving financial success, it is the way we have achieved it. After almost 90 years in business, we have never been more acutely aware of the need to align our moral compass with our commercial purpose. People, Planet and Profit co-exist on equal footing at Johnston Carmichael.”

Environment

An environmental focus is ingrained in our values-based culture at Johnston Carmichael - it’s part of our DNA. It’s a constant topic of conversation amongst our leaders and our people. As a firm we are committed to minimising, where practicable the environmental impact of our business operations.
