Project Overview
We understand that true sustainability starts within our own walls. While we’re busy helping clients with green finance and community programs, we also strive to lead by example. That’s where our Internal ESG Commitment comes in—an ongoing initiative to ensure every aspect of LMS’s operations aligns with our core values of responsibility, integrity, and impact.
What We Did
Eco-Friendly Operations: We reduced our reliance on paper by 75%, encouraging digital documentation, secure e-signatures, and virtual collaborations. This move not only benefits the environment but also streamlines our workflow.
Employee Engagement: Once a quarter, our staff can participate in a paid volunteering day, supporting causes like beach clean-ups and educational drives. This hands-on approach strengthens team spirit and reminds us all of the bigger picture.
Ethical Governance: We adopted an ESG framework that informs how we choose clients and projects, prioritizing those with a strong sense of social and environmental responsibility. We also conduct quarterly audits to ensure full compliance with both local and international standards.
Why It Matters
If we’re advising companies on responsible practices, it’s only fair that we hold ourselves to the same standards. By cutting down waste, encouraging community service, and maintaining ethical project selection, we aim to be more than just a finance firm—we want to be trusted partners who genuinely care about the bigger picture.
Results & Future Outlook
Operational Efficiency: Going digital saved us an estimated 2,000 staff hours a year—time we now invest in client solutions and innovative research.
Lower Environmental Footprint: According to internal audits, our carbon footprint dropped by about 10% since implementing paperless workflows.
Culture of Responsibility: Employees consistently cite volunteering days as a highlight of working at LMS, contributing to a 15% drop in turnover. Next, we plan to introduce internal carbon offsetting and incentives for employees who adopt eco-friendly commuting options.
