Sustainability Report
Sustainability
Our corporate sustainability policy
encompasses the way we do business
and interact with our people, our
customers, our suppliers, our
communities and the environment
around us.
Our commitment to corporate sustainability
is in line with our purpose of providing
innovative business solutions designed to help
our customers manage their operations more
e昀케ciently, our core values (‘making Access
better every day’ and helping everyone thrive),
and aims to deliver continual improvement
in our economic, social and environmental
performance.
In 2024 Access joined the United Nations
Global Compact initiative, a voluntary
leadership platform for the development,
implementation and disclosure of responsible
business practices and we submitted our
昀椀rst Communication on Progress report
in June. Our commitment to sustainability
is channelled through speci昀椀c goals which
underpin our actions, operations and
reputation and are aligned with the SDGs.
Following engagement with all our
stakeholders, Access maps its sustainability
goals and actions to four pillars.
