Corporate Governance

Setting the standard for success. 
Assuring trust and safety at every level. 
Knowing your decisions are valued. 
It all matters.

For our organisation, the safety and security of our team is more than a want, it’s a must. We’re providing government bodies with safe buildings, secure technology, and highly sensitive deliveries. So, keeping our employees, delivery partners and customers safe and secure is our priority. That’s what makes our Corporate Governance team so vital. They’re the people supporting health and safety at home and overseas and protecting vital data. By following best practices, balancing interests, managing risks, and upholding policies they protect our organisation.

For our teams, one of the biggest challenges is distance: you’ve got to build strong relationships worldwide to keep an overview of every project and service.

Case study

The Corporate Governance team recently oversaw Health and Safety standards for a brand-new theatre that helps train the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office’s diplomats all over the world. Find out more in our case study.
