Chief Executive Officer
Our CEO's perspective
Before ESG became a known acronym, it was a
thread sewn through the founding purpose and
culture of AlixPartners.
Sustainability is only possible when we respect and care for every part of
what makes us whole. AlixPartners' one-firm firm approach has always
reflected just that: a commitment to sustaining and nurturing our culture,
our communities, our business, and our planet-especially as disruption
increasingly remakes the world.
At AlixPartners, our small teams of seasoned experts work collaboratively
and deeply with colleagues and clients to solve some of the biggest
challenges. In this work, we take seriously our shared responsibility to lead
by example by doing the right thing. I'm very proud that ESG was naturally
set as a core pillar in our firmwide five-year growth strategy.
Now a leading economic and societal driver, disruption is accelerating
change in future-defining ways for businesses, communities, and our
environment. Thankfully, AlixPartners is uniquely equipped to navigate such
delicate and high-stakes realities. In fact, it's where we excel.
Since our founding, we have advised clients on how to transform their
governance, implement efficiency, and secure resources in ways that
not only sustain their businesses in times of urgency, but grow them.
Signing the United Nations Global Compact in 2021 was a commitment
to apply that expertise and our resources to advance the UN's Sustainable
Development Goals for achieving peace and prosperity now and into the
future. We're making meaningful progress and there is still work to be done.
Every ounce of energy and expertise we deliver to our clients, our
communities, and our own teammates is backed by a commitment to do
good and make a positive impact. You will see that in this report.
All best,
Simon Freakley
