Sustainability

The future is worth investing in.

We believe that financial returns and the planet’s well-being 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 by our in-house sustainability advisory team, Davy Horizons, in 2022.

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.

Our sustainability actions (2024)

The following are priority actions for Davy in 2024:

  • Support our clients to deliver on their sustainability ambitions by providing specialist supports across all of our main service lines.
  • Enable enhancements in the overall sustainability of our investment portfolios, by embedding ESG in our analysis and raising the profile of SRI funds.
  • Support capacity building on sustainability in business and financial services, through our role on the CBI climate forum among others.
  • Engage our staff, clients and other stakeholders on sustainability matters through relevant thought leadership events and publications.
  • Reduce the carbon intensity of our own operations, building on initiatives through 2023 and extending to a review of all of our critical suppliers.
  • Continue to invest in the diversity and wellness of our own people, while evolving our programme of charity partnership and supports.
