ESG
& DIVERSITY
Sustainability and diversity are hardwired into Fidelio’s approach to evaluating, developing and building highly effective Boards
ESG
ESG is no longer optional; it has moved incontrovertibly to centre stage
Fidelio's approach reflects this across:
EVALUATION
The link between Board Evaluation, ESG, and access to capital is becoming more explicit.
Our Evaluations therefore have a clear focus on the role of the Board in embedding ESG, which is reflected in our methodology and integrated into our recommendations.
SEARCH
Increasing the diversity and ESG capability of Boards and leaderships teams is a consistent outcome of Fidelio’s searches.
In keeping with shareholder and stakeholder expectations, we routinely screen for ESG competency throughout our Search assignments. We also ensure, by developing compelling and distinctive candidate briefs, that we always attract a strong pool of diverse candidates.
DEVELOPMENT
Fidelio supports Boards with developing effectiveness and awareness, in particular around ESG.
Fidelio’s approach to Board Development is interactive and designed to frame the questions that Boards need to be addressing, as well as frameworks which provide oversight and assurance.
Accreditations & Partnerships
Fidelio’s co-founder is a Board Member of Chapter Zero, the Directors’ Climate Forum, and Fidelio are one of the 12 leading Search firms who have signed a joining declaration to champion Chapter Zero.
For a sixth consecutive year, Fidelio has been accredited by the FTSE Women Leaders Review for our contribution to increasing and promoting gender diversity in the Boardroom. We are proud to be recognised for our best practice gender-balanced selection standards in the 'FTSE 350'. Fidelio are also signatories of the Standard Voluntary Code of Conduct.
