While we work in places and spaces, it’s the people at the heart of them that matter. We’re always looking for ways to make a lasting positive impact in the communities where we operate, through engagement, charitable giving and volunteering.
The UN set out Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for businesses around the world. Savills have aligned with 9 of the 17 UN SDGs, that are the most relevant to our business, three of which come under our community approach:
- Quality education: We aim to create opportunities for the growth and development of our people and within the communities that we impact.
- Sustainable cities and communities: We work with government, national and local communities and our clients to create sustainable places.
- Life on land: Through our client work, we aim to minimise our impact to biodiversity and ecosystems and expect our suppliers to operate responsibly.
In 2024, our community highlights included:
- Over 21,600 voluntary and pro bono hours given during the year across Savills
- £1.5million donated by the Group and combined Regional Businesses to charities with over 495 charitable causes supported globally
- Savills recognised at 16 different award events globally, notably, seven Savills North America employees received prestigious ESG related awards
- Savills supported clients to generate 21.2GW of renewable energy and undertook 241 Net Zero or Carbon Pathways.
