Saxton Bampfylde is committed to being a socially responsible business by making a positive impact on society and the environment.
We work with our clients to find leaders with the experience and knowledge that helps their organisation play its part in furthering the ESG agenda, across environmental, social or governance perspectives.
As the first employee-owned executive search and leadership advisory firm, purpose has always been central to our work. Together, we have made a broad range of commitments within our own organisation, culture and behaviours to ensure we walk-the-walk as well as helping others to do so.

We can always better ourselves by thinking and acting differently, and we are so passionate about this that we have a dedicated group of engaged individuals that promotes internal and external initiatives to inform and develop our colleagues and clients, as well as prompt discussion around diversity issues.
We have a pivotal role to play in the development of diverse leaders, and are proud to be part of a broad range diversity initiatives including:
