What inspired us to become a partner of UNICEF

Mark Hamill

Managing Director

The co-operation between SpenglerFox and UNICEF started during the summer of 2008, I had just put down the book of 'Long Way Round' by Charlie Boorman and Ewan McGregor which describes their motorcycle voyage around the world. Along the way they managed to stop off in many UNICEF aid points and it was nothing less than inspiring to read about those UNICEF projects.

Supporting underprivileged children in Ghana

Since November 2009, 7 SpenglerFox offices (Athens, Budapest, Istanbul, London, Moscow, Paris & Prague) have been sponsoring 7 children (orphans or unprivileged children) from Christ Orphanage in Ghana: Abigail Botwoe, Ivorn Dunya, Josephine Avekor, Makafui Gadagoe, Blessed Agbeve, Peter Anani and Devine Agbefle. None of them is lucky enough to be born in a full happy family and unfortunately they have got to know the real life too soon.

Corporate Social Responsibility

 

 

A Responsible Business

During the past six years we have learnt from and been inspired by ethical business. When we started this company establishing our core values required tremendous amounts of soul searching and discussion. Despite the lively debate we were all united on one front: our business should be an ethical business, with ethics hard wired into our culture and the way that we conduct ourselves.

 

Putting Ethics into Practice
Our professional ethics: Now more than ever transparency, accountability, trust, and reliability are essential qualities for every organisation. Our reputation for scrupulously fair and sensitive dealings with our clients and candidates is one of our most prized assets and ensures that we have a 90% client retention rate.
Corporate Social Responsibility: Being a responsible business is not just about our daily interaction with our clients, it is about the greater impact that we have on the communities in which we live and work and how we ensure that impact is a positive force for change. As a business we are constantly assessing how we can make a positive impact in our communities, marketplaces, environment, and workplace.
Our Partnership with UNICEF

Our mission is about fulfilling organisational and human potential through connecting the world’s best senior talent to the world’s best companies.

When we started to discuss Corporate Social Responsibility we asked our team “If you had a cause, any cause that you would like SpenglerFox to stand up for what would it be?”

The answer was overwhelming. Our people said that the protection and the provision of equal rights to children across the world was the cause that they would most like SpenglerFox to stand up for.

Why? Because in the words of UNICEF “helping children reach their full potential is also investing in the very progress of humanity”

If we are in the business of fulfilling organisational and human potential it follows that as an organisation and as citizens of communities all over the world, we do our utmost to ensure that children fulfil their potential to become the citizens and leaders of tomorrow.

Given that our operations span the globe the challenge was then to identify a partner that we could work with on a global and local scale to help us achieve our mission.

It was during the summer of 2008 that our Managing Director, Mark Hamill, first came across the idea of working in partnership with UNICEF.
