Wilton & Bain achieves highest SME rating in CDP Environmental Disclosure
Executive search and leadership advisory firm Wilton & Bain has secured a B rating in its Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) assessment—the highest rating achievable for small and medium-sized enterprises—marking a significant milestone in the firm's sustainability journey.
The London-headquartered firm, which has expanded to offices in New York, Austin and Dubai since its founding in 2001, announced the achievement as part of its ongoing environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments.
Highest Possible Rating for SMEsThe B rating recognises Wilton & Bain's comprehensive approach to environmental management and transparency. CDP ratings are widely acknowledged as the gold standard for corporate environmental transparency, with thousands of companies worldwide disclosing data through the programme each year.
A spokesperson for Wilton & Bain said: "Achieving the highest possible CDP rating for a business of our size demonstrates our genuine commitment to environmental responsibility. As a firm that places leaders who will shape the future of global businesses, we recognise our obligation to lead by example."
Concrete Environmental CommitmentsThe CDP rating builds upon Wilton & Bain's existing environmental pledges, including its commitment to become Net Carbon Zero by 2030 through participation in the Climate Essentials and Ecovadis schemes.
