Our Governance Framework
We lead with ambition in our strong governance, and here you can learn more about our commitment to the UN Sustainability Development Goals and how ESG is embedded into decision-making at all levels.
We lead with honesty and integrity, and pride ourselves on our strong governance structure which underpins our ESG values.
Holding ourselves to the highest standard of accountability, we are dedicated to embedding our social and environmental goals into policy and decision making throughout the Firm at all levels.
As active members of the UN Global Compact Network, we are committed to aligning our initiatives and actions to their principles and to the UN Sustainability Development Goals, as well as aligning our reductions targets to the Science Based Targets Initiative standards.
"Our robust internal frameworks for our social and environmental impact enables ultimate transparency between our key stakeholders from management board through to our offices, regions and the wider Baker Tilly International (BTI) global network, where we sit on the international working parties for ESG."

A founding member of ICAEW
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales is a world-leading membership organisation that promotes, develops and supports more than 147,000 members worldwide. It is the arbiter of ethical and technical standards in accounting.
The ICAEW was founded in the same year as MacIntyre Hudson (now MHA), 1880, and our firm – then known as Barnes and Attree – was an original member. We continue to uphold its high standards in our work.
Risk Management Framework
The ‘Risk Compass’ continues to be the main focus for our Risk Framework and each of the 8 points are regularly reviewed to monitor our exposure to identified risks specific to each area and consider whether our operating controls are mitigating our exposure to these risks to an acceptable level. This review process also considers new and emerging risks within each area to determine where we need to enhance our controls or change our way of working or behaviours. This process is central to the operation and management of our Risk Management System (RMS).
We are not yet mandated to be a sustainable organisation, with an ESG framework and on a Net Zero journey. But that isn’t the point. We are already advising clients on their sustainability strategies. We are supporting mandated organisations in their carbon and other GHG reporting.
We are already ‘talking the talk’. The same Purpose with Profit reasons that underpin the services we provide to our clients is equally relevant to our own business. That is why we are on our own TCFD journey.
