the power of collaboration and believe that diversity helps nurture growth.

Communicating and listening to our employees is considered high priority. The CEO
addresses the entire organisation at least quarterly to update all employees on company
performance, structural changes and our strategic objectives. Business update meetings areheld at least quarterly in each office and provide all employees with the opportunity forquestions and answers. Leadership members publish regular blogs on the intranet as we

this is to run a formal “Community Week” in each office. This year teams from our London
office supported the week by running charity shops for the day raising nearly £6,000, withEuromonitor matching. Euromonitor is also proud of its Employability Mentoring programme
whereby employees volunteer to mentor students from two schools in Islington, our local
London borough: a girls’ comprehensive school and a school for children with special needs.
We also run a reading and conversation group in the office for refugees and asylum seekers.
