ESG & Sustainability Policy

1. Commitment

Rixent is committed to embedding environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into both our advisory services and our own business operations. We recognise that sustainable business practice is essential not only to our long-term success but also to the resilience of the clients and communities we serve. As a governance, risk, and compliance advisory firm, we believe it is our responsibility to lead by example in promoting sustainability and ethical practice.

2. Legal and Ethical Framework

Although incorporated in the United States under eKnols LLC, Rixent aligns its ESG principles with widely recognised international standards, including the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, and emerging regulatory frameworks in the United Kingdom, the European Union, and the Middle East. This global alignment reflects the cross-border nature of our services and our commitment to applying consistent ethical standards in all jurisdictions.

3. Environmental Responsibility

We strive to minimise the environmental impact of our operations and advisory work by:

  • Reducing energy consumption through digital-first business practices.
  • Limiting travel where possible and prioritising sustainable transport options.
  • Selecting suppliers and partners who demonstrate environmental responsibility.
  • Encouraging clients to integrate climate risk and sustainability into their governance and risk frameworks.

4. Social Responsibility

Rixent promotes fairness, inclusivity, and respect for human rights in all areas of our work. We are committed to:

  • Fostering diversity and inclusion across our teams and partnerships.
  • Ensuring safe and fair working conditions throughout our supply chains.
  • Contributing to knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the communities we serve.
  • Engaging with stakeholders openly and respectfully, recognising their role in sustainable decision-making.

5. Governance Responsibility

Strong governance underpins our approach to ESG. To that end, we:

  • Operate with transparency, integrity, and accountability in all business relationships.
  • Uphold strict compliance with anti-bribery, anti-corruption, and modern slavery standards.
  • Apply robust risk management processes to monitor ESG-related risks.
  • Advise clients on integrating ESG considerations into their own enterprise risk and compliance frameworks.

6. Engagement with Clients and Partners

We encourage our clients, suppliers, and business partners to adopt and strengthen ESG principles within their own organisations. As part of our advisory role, we integrate ESG considerations into our risk management, governance, and business continuity services, thereby supporting clients in meeting both regulatory obligations and stakeholder expectations.

7. Review and Continuous Improvement

This policy reflects Rixent’s ongoing commitment to ESG and sustainability. We review it annually to ensure alignment with evolving regulations, international best practice, and stakeholder expectations. Updates will be published on this page with the date of revision.

8. Approval and Oversight

This policy has been reviewed and approved by the leadership of eKnols LLC, trading internationally as Rixent. Responsibility for implementation rests with Rixent’s senior management team.
