As such, we are committed to delivering on our purpose, which guides us towards investing responsibly in durable businesses – our culture enables us to do so with clarity.
Our Culture
We believe that culture has made an enormous contribution to the success of our partnership.
Our Values
Culture has made an enormous contribution to the success of our partnership. The alignment of values is an important consideration when hiring new team members.
Trust and Collaboration
Our culture is anchored on trust and collaboration, as evidenced by our co-coverage research model. It is through this that we create a positive and rewarding working environment where we believe that continual learning and a readiness to evolve are essential to success.
Inclusivity
Our culture fosters inclusivity by welcoming diverse views and perspectives. We also expect people to own their mistakes and see them as an opportunity to learn and grow. We aim for an environment where colleagues can build meaningful relationships – being a small, independently-owned partnership allows us to do so.
Our charitable engagement
We believe our support for charities should go beyond the financial.
By donating their time, our team can meaningfully connect and make material changes in their local communities. Our Social Responsibility Committee coordinates these initiatives, encouraging a shared empathy and a belief that even as individuals we can all make a profound impact.
Each year, every team member has the opportunity to select a charity of their choice to receive a donation.
This initiative has enabled Findlay Park to donate to over 160 different charities across a wide range of sectors. We understand the power of social engagement and aim to actively increase this through the charities we support.
We are proud to partner with several charities which we believe align with our values.
Resurgo Trust supports unemployed young people and emerging entrepreneurs, with a focus to improve social mobility through empowerment, mentoring and progression into further training or education.
We have enjoyed working with young participants over the last few years, holding mock interviews, reviewing their CVs and watching them hone their presentation skills.
The Passage provides resources which encourage and inspire homeless people to transform their lives.
Working in partnership with many other agencies, they help thousands of people off the streets into safe and secure accommodation and employment. In previous years the team have volunteered at the Christmas lunch, helping to cook, serve and spend time with the vulnerable during what is usually a very difficult time.
Smart Works works with women giving them the confidence they need to reach their full potential, secure employment and change the trajectory of their lives.
The service helps prepare for job-interviews and re-entering the workplace predominantly through a dressing and coaching service.
City Harvest collects nutritious surplus food and redistributes this to smaller charities, food banks, schools and community groups.
It aims not only to alleviate food poverty in London, but reduce food waste.
Our Impact
Working towards a better environment.
Most of us recognise that we need to act boldly to limit damage to the environment and to potentially reverse the impact we have had on the planet. We believe we should take constructive actions as a company to try and make a difference. In playing our part we take credible, measurable steps to help secure an improved tomorrow for us all.
We are now carbon neutral through third party verification, provided by Climate Impact Partners, who map out and quantify the carbon emissions we already monitor.

Of the electricity in our building is generated from renewable sources.
Our Initiatives
We take great pride in our approach.
Operationally, we aim to model behaviours expected of responsible companies. We monitor our progress on environmental stewardship as well as community giving, and take great pride in our approach to sustainability within the office. Recycling is widely encouraged, but we first aim to reduce waste and be mindful of the impact of the materials we use. We have switched to biodegradable or compostable products where possible and have partnered with an organisation that plants trees to offset our paper consumption. Both the electricity and gas supply used in our building are generated from 100% renewable sources.
