Responsibility

As part of our ongoing commitment to responsible business, Positive Momentum is a proud participant in the United Nations Global Compact—the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative.

By aligning with the Compact’s Ten Principles covering human rights, labour, environment, and anti-corruption, we’re reinforcing what’s already part of how we work: doing business ethically, sustainably, and transparently. This commitment supports our broader focus on creating positive impact not just for our clients, but for society and the environment too.

Being part of the UN Global Compact means we’ll continue embedding these principles in the way we operate every day—from how we support our clients, to how we work as a remote-first team, to how we shape our Social Impact and Sustainability programmes. It also means holding ourselves accountable by publicly reporting our progress each year.

For us, this is not a badge—it’s a responsibility. And one we’re proud to stand behind.

Environmental Impact

We take a practical approach to minimising our environmental impact while building a commercially successful business.

As a global consultancy operating without permanent offices, our model inherently reduces the environmental impact associated with physical workspace. We focus on using resources efficiently, particularly in how we approach travel, materials and day-to-day operations. By embracing technology and flexible ways of working, we limit unnecessary travel and operate with a lower overall footprint.

When it comes to carbon, we focus on understanding and reducing our impact where possible. We estimate the carbon footprint of our client engagements based on travel and delivery activities, and offset our estimated emissions through verified carbon offset projects. Since 2021, we have offset emissions associated with our limited company operations, and since 2023, this has included all client engagements.

Our approach is based on current estimates and available data, and we continue to refine how we measure and reduce our impact over time. We are transparent about what we can and cannot directly control, and focus our efforts where we can take practical action.

Social Impact

Giving back is an important part of how we operate. We aim to contribute to a more equitable society by supporting causes that matter to our people and the communities we engage with.

Each year, we support a range of NGOs and not-for-profit organisations. Every member of Positive Momentum selects a cause that matters to them, which we support through company donations. We also operate a matched giving scheme for our partners and employees to increase the impact of contributions made by our team.

We encourage active involvement by providing paid time for volunteering, and a number of our team contribute their time and expertise by supporting or serving on boards of organisations aligned to our values. We also support initiatives focused on developing young people, including partnerships with The Aleto Foundation, Generation Success, the Udayan Shalini Fellowship (USF) programme, and Empathy Week.

In India, our business supports the Udayan programme, which works with vulnerable young people. A proportion of earnings from our Indian operations is contributed to Udayan, supporting initiatives including residential care and development programmes for young people.

Our Employees

We place a strong emphasis on supporting our people and creating an environment where they can develop and perform at their best.

We invest in training and development through a structured approach that includes professional development, coaching and ongoing support.

Our team works remotely with flexible hours, enabling people to balance their work with personal commitments, including family life. We complement this with regular team off-sites, creating opportunities for in-person collaboration and strengthening relationships across the team.

Our benefits package includes pension, medical insurance, life insurance and a competitive holiday allowance. We also review salaries periodically, taking into account factors such as market conditions and cost of living.

Diversity & Inclusion

As a global team, we work with colleagues and clients from a wide range of cultures, backgrounds and communities.

Our values emphasise collaboration, authenticity and the importance of different perspectives. We aim to attract and retain people from a diverse talent pool, and use a structured, blind recruitment process for full-time roles to help reduce the potential for unconscious bias.

Our remote and flexible working model also supports this approach, enabling people with different circumstances or commitments to contribute and succeed outside of a traditional office environment.
