Our approach to Environmental, Social & Governance.
We recognise our responsibilities as a good corporate citizen and actively integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues into our business model.
OUR ENVIRONMENT
Praxis is a member of ESI Monitor’s FutureTracker. The Framework is an international benchmark that includes measurement and management of its 2023 Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
OUR COMMUNITIES
The Group is committed to ensuring that slavery, human trafficking and forced labour have no place in or around our business and we have therefore put processes and policies in place to strengthen our approach to tackling any risk of this. We have a responsibility to respect the human rights of our colleagues, customers, the communities we operate in and the people who work throughout our supply chain, and we have an opportunity to make a difference.
Praxis does not tolerate slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour or child exploitation. We have implemented a number of policies which allow us to manage human rights both within and outside of our business including our Codes of Conduct. Furthermore, the Group employee staff handbook makes it abundantly clear that employees are always expected to behave ethically and operate with integrity.
The Group has a proactive approach to developing our reputation and engagement in our communities. We recognise the need to be socially responsible and in local communities, this means we support charities and organisations, sports teams and events that aim to provide learning, training and development opportunities, and/or encourage people to lead healthy lifestyles, and/or improve the quality of people’s lives. Details of our latest community initiatives can be found below.
We also give each of our team dedicated volunteering time to support a local charitable initiative.
OUR GOVERNANCE
Praxis Group Limited, which is headquartered in Guernsey and listed on The International Stock Exchange has adopted the Finance Sector Code of Corporate Governance issued by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission.
As a financial services company, Praxis is fully committed to the principles of good corporate governance including effective management, reporting and transparency.
Our Board of Directors considers effective governance to be at the heart of good business management. Our approach is focused on ensuring that the process the Group follows to make key business decisions allows for careful consideration of the impact those decisions have on the wider stakeholder group.
