DTZ achieves Bronze in Business in the Community’s Corporate Responsibility Index- 08 June, 2011.

DTZ, the global real estate services firm has achieved BRONZE in Business in the Community’s (BITC) 2011 Corporate Responsibility Index (CRI), the UK’s leading voluntary benchmark of corporate responsibility. The firm is joint best improver in the index.

Achieving Bronze means that DTZ has demonstrated a clear outline of its mission, values and corporate responsibility principles, with clear roles and responsibilities being allocated right across its business. The bronze performance band is also an indication that DTZ is at the early stages of environmental and social data collation and public reporting.

Andrew Jones, UK Chief Operating Officer at DTZ said: “DTZ is committed to minimising its impact on the environment and to working in partnership with clients and suppliers to develop best practice environmental management. We are the only real estate services firm in the index and have worked hard to achieve this accreditation. We have significantly improved the integration of our corporate responsibility principles into our business strategy. We are dedicated to maximising our social impact through our commitment to employee development and wellbeing and by forming strong partnerships with the communities in which we operate and will continue to build upon this year’s success.”

Stephen Howard, Chief Executive, Business in the Community said: “I congratulate DTZ on achieving BRONZE in the 2011 BITC Corporate Responsibility Index. It is a challenging time, but the results of this year’s Index demonstrate that companies are still focused on transforming their businesses in order to have a positive impact on society. All the companies who participated this year are at different stages in their responsible business journey, but they are all taking these issues seriously and are prepared to lead by example.”
