Corporate Sustainability

The future is worth investing in

We believe that financial returns and the planet’s wellbeing can and should go hand-in-hand. We are working hard to make a positive difference.

Our commitment to sustainability

Davy can play a substantial role in our transition to a green economy, sitting as we do at the heart of wealth and capital in Ireland. We are planning and investing to deliver on that potential, building on a strategy developed for our business.

The strategy is based on a baseline sustainability review of our activities, products, services and operations across all of our locations.

It provided the basis for a detailed five-year action plan, performance against which is managed by a dedicated committee of senior leaders from across the business. This committee accounts ultimately to the Davy Executive Committee.
