The UN set out Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for businesses around the world. Savills have aligned with 9 of the 17 UN SDGs, that are the most relevant to our business, three of which come under our community approach: 

• Quality education: We aim to create opportunities for the growth and development of our people and within the communities that we impact.
• Sustainable cities and communities: We work with government, national and local communities and our clients to create sustainable places.
• Life on land: We expect our suppliers to operate responsibly and to seek to protect biodiversity and ecosystems.

In 2023, our community highlights included: 

• 24,300 volunteering hours 
• £2,090,000 donated by the Group and combined regional businesses
• Over 580 pro-bono hours given
• Social and local economic value of £4.7m delivered through Savills UK
