Governance

Governance

Strong and effective governance, high standards of integrity and robust compliance risk management are the cornerstones underpinning respectful relationships and the trust placed in us by our stakeholders.

 

Our Board of Directors plays a crucial role in overseeing and assessing our corporate ethics, compliance and sustainability programmes, and in ensuring that our policies, procedures and controls are fit for purpose and aligned with our valued behaviours.

The Audit & Risk Committee supports the Board through its oversight of sustainability reporting, related assurance activities and the controls and processes that support ESG data and disclosures. Sustainability responsibilities and activities are overseen through Hays' broader governance framework.

For the latest information regarding sustainability governance and oversight arrangements, please refer to the FY26 Annual Report and Accounts.

Further information on Board Committees can be found here: Governance | Hays.

Our Compliance & ESG Network

Our Compliance & ESG programme is supported by a dedicated global network of ESG specialists, Regional Compliance Officers and Integrity Champions. Together, they help promote ethical business practices, raise awareness, support colleagues and embed our sustainability, compliance and human rights commitments across the organisation.
