The Brightstar Group has published its first annual environmental, social and governance (ESG) report as part of World Earth Day, revealing that the business cut its carbon footprint by 50% in 2024, becoming carbon neutral within two years.
The report found that 43% of staff currently hold partner or platinum partner status, representing either five or 10 years’ service.
It also revealed that among advisers who have completed the groups ‘Growing Our Own’ training, 42% are women.
Brightstar Group has also raised more than £250,000 for charity through events such as the Sepsis Ball and Alzheimer’s Ball.
William Lloyd-Hayward (pictured), group COO and ESG lead at Brightstar Group, said: “We are delighted to be publishing our first Annual Group ESG report.
“ESG is more than just an acronym to our business, it lies at the foundation of how we do business and the way we support and develop our staff.
“This report brings together more than a decade worth of progress and investment and sets a clear action plan of how we will continue to drive investment in our business to deliver against our ESG targets.”
