Good corporate citizenship and corporate responsibility are important parts of our identity, both as an employer and a regulator. They sit at the heart of our culture and are part of everything we do.
Our role within the community is key and this approach helps our people feel a sense of belonging to the FCA and to wider society.
Our corporate responsibility agenda
Our corporate responsibility agenda goes hand in hand with our business objectives.
Primarily, we aim to protect consumers and enhance the integrity of the UK financial system. But we also aim to create a positive impact in our communities and our environment. What we learn from this makes us a better regulator.
We concentrate on three core aspects of corporate responsibility:
- diversity and inclusion
- community engagement
- environmental sustainability
Being a great place to work
We:
- provide a rewarding environment, recognising that our people are motivated by more than just money

- look after the well-being of our people, ensuring that they are safe and well and appropriately cared for
- promote an environment in which people are valued and respected
- are a Living Wage Employer
