Corporate responsibility
The Allen Consulting Group’s corporate responsibility is driven by our values, and the values and commitment of our people.
We also offer each employee one day of paid leave annually to volunteer for the not-for-profit organisation of their choice.
We support not-for-profit and community organisations such as Oxfam, the Wesley City Mission and the Cancer Council by fundraising across our offices and supporting the volunteer and fundraising efforts of our people.
Our commitment to reconciliation
A particular focus of our corporate responsibility is reconciliation with Indigenous Australians.
Between 2006 and 2010, we worked pro bono for the Indigenous Enterprise Partnership, and the Yorta Yorta Aboriginal Corporation in the Goulburn-Murray region.
In 2010, we finalised our Reconciliation Action Plan, which outlines our contribution to closing the 17-year gap in life expectancy gap between Indigenous Australians and their fellow citizens.
Our Reconciliation Action Plan has been lodged with Reconciliation Australia.
Our environmental impact
We seek to minimise the carbon footprint and other environmental impacts of our work.
Our primary impacts on the environment are our use of power, office consumables and travel.
Where possible we limit our use of air travel, and we minimise our consumption of energy, water and other resources in our offices through a range of measures, including:
- energy-efficient sources and appliances
- carbon emission offsets
- sustainable office products.
