2. 2 THE SR GROUP
2015 REPORT
The SR Group Corporate Responsibility & Diversity (CR&D) programme is an integral part of our group’s foundations, central to our corporate
philosophy and underpinning the actions in every employee, both through delivery of business services and within the wider community.
We divide our programme into four categories - Charity, Diversity, Environment and Community - each of which influences the way we engage
with clients, candidates and colleagues.
2014 was an excellent year for us with regards to our work within CR&D – we surveyed our employees globally to establish what is important
to them, both internally and externally. We then took active steps to integrate their feedback into our plans and long-term objectives, giving
them the opportunity to see the ways in which they can influence our company. At the end of the year we were delighted to be awarded
Investors in People Silver standard accreditation, and will be using this as our starting point for the next 18 months.
Throughout 2015 we intend to refocus our CR&D programme on a global basis, sharing best practice across all of our international offices to
really engage with our staff and add more value to the communities we serve. We have new priorities and new challenges and I look forward
to updating you on our progress in next year’s report.
WELCOME
Mark Brewer
Chief Executive

Charity Case Studies
JP Morgan 2014
The SR Group participated in the London, Sydney and Singapore JP Morgan Corporate
Challenge events in 2014. We had 41 staff members taking part globally from Brewer Morris,
Carter Murray, Frazer Jones, Taylor Root and SR Search, running in the three races over the
course of the year.
All of the events take place in the evenings and give colleagues a chance to get to know each
other outside of work. The SR Group are entering again for 2015 and looking to increase the
number of runners, as well as achieving better race times!

CHARITY CASE STUDIES
OctoBeard 2014
In October 2014, The SR Group took part in our very own OctoBeard. This was a global effort with
employees in Australia, Germany and the London office taking part (including the Partners from
each of the regions and Chief Executive Mark Brewer). A grand total of 24 beards were grown
to their full (and very mixed) potential throughout October and each participant contributed to
Shooting Star Chase, raising a fantastic £1,060. This was something new for the group and will be
continued in 2015.
OzHarvest 2015
We are delighted to announce that our Australian offices are partnering with OzHarvest for 2015.
OzHarvest is the first perishable food rescue organisation in Australia collecting quality excess food
from commercial outlets and delivering it free of charge to over 500 charities. We hope to raise
$10,000 over the year and have scheduled internal bi-monthly fundraisers (which have so far included
an auction and a raffle), a client trivia night (where we raised over $1,200), a client cooking event
and a generous donation from The SR Group management which will match donations up to $2,000).

CHARITY CASE STUDIES
2014 highlights
• £18,500 raised in total for the UK
• £2,700 raised for Brewer Morris 5-a-side
• £2,500 raised in total for bake sales
• £12,000 raised for 2014 charity(s) of the year (CLIC Sargent/Shooting Star Chase)
Bake days are scheduled throughout the year. London put on a
monthly bake day with all contributions going towards various
charities nominated by our employees. There was huge demand
for the last piece of “Breakfast Pie” at the end of the year which
was eventually auctioned off at £40. In 2014 Hong Kong put on a
quarterly “Master Chef” with proceeds going towards two school
reconstructions in rural China (via Oxfam).
Bake Days 2014-2015
The Melbourne office is proud to support the Asylum Seeker’s Resource Centre (the largest independent body
assisting asylum seekers in Australia). The ASRC deliver services to over 1350 asylum seekers at any one time
in Victoria through programmes such as their food and aid network, health, legal, counselling and casework
programs. We have been raising funds for ASRC by way of monthly bake days (the proceeds of which are
matched by The SR Group dollar for dollar). We are also recruiting a number of legal vacancies for ASRC on a
pro-bono basis. We are advertising their vacancies on our job boards and providing ongoing consultation to
them on how best to market their volunteer and paid positions to the market.
Jeans for genes 2014
The London office participated in Jeans for Genes day in September 2014 and raised a fantastic £364 for the charity.

10. 10 THE SR GROUP
The SR Group has a proactive approach to equality and diversity both
internally and as part of our candidate recruitment methodologies. In
order to ensure we are reaching individuals from diverse communities,
we support organisations and networking groups which operate
as independent support networks for various minority groups and
communities.
Diversity Performance Monitoring
The SR Group has been capturing statistical candidate equality and
diversity information for many years. This information is voluntarily
provided by candidates upon registration and is recorded anonymously.
The data allows us to make sure that we are maintaining a diverse
candidate network.
We are constantly recalibrating our attraction and sourcing
methodologies to engage with members of under-represented social
groups. Our goal is to offer our clients candidate shortlists which
represent a more diverse than average cross-section of society.
As a group, we have been offering ad hoc consultancy to our clients
where we discuss their priorities with a diversity agenda (sharing best
practice and experience across a range of sectors) and working with
them to overcome challenges they face.

The issue of diversity and equality is high on
the agenda, with significant interventions
being made to support, for example, the
progression of women in the organisation,
flexible working hours, gym breaks,
women-only events, part-time working and
ensuring that women on maternity leave
are not excluded when it comes to access to
development and promotion.

ENVIRONMENT
In an effort to integrate environmental management into the group’s everyday business operations, we strive to demonstrate the highest
standards of environmental best practice.
All companies, including recruitment consultancies, have a much greater impact on the environment than is immediately evident. We work hard
to reduce this impact where we can through practical steps and initiatives, from widescale recycling to encouraging employees to use low carbon
transport wherever possible.
2014 Achievements:
• 20% increase in paper recycling
• Video conferencing capability advanced by introducing
video conference rooms across our global locations to
reduce our carbon footprint
2015 objectives:
• Investigate renewable energy sources
• Continue to reduce carbon footprint
• Roll out of new, energy-efficient office equipment (including
printers, PCs and kitchen appliances)

Between 1-8 December 2014, a sample cross-section of 52 employees,
representing all role types and office locations, were formally assessed
against 115 individual indicators which make up the Investors in People
(IIP) Silver standard accreditation.
We were delighted to be awarded IIP Silver standard for the group on a
global basis, following extremely positive feedback from the assessor.
The Silver standard is achieved by just 6% of IIP accredited organisations
and very few of our competitors hold this level of accreditation. We are
also rare amongst IIP holders in that we were assessed against, and
achieved, Silver standard at first pass – most other organisations gain
the basic standard first and work to the higher levels over time.
Anti-Bribery & Corruption
It is our policy to conduct all of our business in an honest and ethical
manner.
We take a zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption and
are committed to acting professionally, fairly and with integrity in all
our business dealings and relationships wherever we operate and
implementing and enforcing effective systems to counter bribery.
We have implemented an Anti-Bribery & Corruption policy, the purpose
of which is to:
• set out our responsibilities, and of those working for us, in observing
and upholding our position on bribery and corruption; and
• provide information and guidance to those working for us on how
to recognise and deal with bribery and corruption issues.
We recognise that our corporate activities have repercussions beyond day-to-day business interactions with clients, candidates and colleagues.
Our intention is that these repercussions are positive rather than negative.
In addition to charitable work and environmental good practice, we encourage employees to ‘give back’ and provide them with the opportunity
to be involved in the wider community.
Our approach to pro bono activities allows us to use our recruitment skills to make a positive impact on the lives of others. This includes working
with external partners to provide CV advice and interview workshops to school leavers, particularly those from underprivileged backgrounds.
In addition to our work in this area, we support clients in their own CR&D initiatives, delivering CV and interview workshops within their work
experience programmes.

Boot Camp
At no cost, other than to our dignity, our Training Director (and qualified personal trainer), Leila Hudson, takes a dedicated group of keen Boot
Campers in London (and in our global locations during her global office visits) through their paces on a weekly basis, whatever the weather. All
levels of fitness are catered for and the Boot Camp gives employees the opportunity to socialise with colleagues from around the office. The Boot
Camp initiative was shortlisted for the Most Effective Team Motivation event at The Recruiter Investing in Talent Awards in 2014.
