Hybrid Working Our head office is in London, and this is where our internship will be based. Our Hybrid working policy is based on the principles of empowerment, mutual trust and flexibility, recognising that we work best when we make choices about when, where and how we work. We operate a hybrid working model, which would see you spending a minimum of 2-3 days working from the office, with the option to work the rest remotely. We encourage our Interns to spend as much time in the office as they would like to get the most out of the experience.

Your work pattern will be reliant on business demands, and we would expect you to manage your time accordingly.

Sustainability Modern businesses have a duty to be environmentally responsible and operate sustainably. We believe this represents not only sound commercial sense but also recognises our ethical responsibility to minimise the impact of our activities on the environment and to leave a positive legacy for future generations. We have committed to, and set, science-based decarbonisation targets, and have received verification of these goals from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). These targets will hold us accountable to our sustainability strategy while enabling us to measure our progress. This is complemented by us continuing to provide sustainability insight to our clients and cultivating a track record within sustainable businesses and in placing sustainability leaders.
