RGP’s 2024 Corporate Responsibility Update
RGP (Nasdaq: RGP), a global consulting firm grounded in corporate responsibility, reports meaningful progress this fiscal year. The company continues to push sustainable practices and a people-centered workplace, and its latest update details how those commitments are shaping day-to-day operations and longer-term goals. The throughline is clear: put people first, and pair that with accountable, measurable action.
Leadership Perspective
Chief Executive Officer Kate Duchene underscored the company’s human-first approach and why it matters. “As a human-first company, our brand values are integral to our interactions with clients and employees. They inform our human capital development strategy. This past year, we undertook a materiality assessment to refine our sustainability priorities. The insights gained will direct our focus toward areas with the potential for significant impact, affecting not just financial outcomes but fostering community and social well-being across all stakeholder levels.” The emphasis on materiality means the work concentrates where it can do the most good—inside the firm and out in the communities it serves.
What Moved Forward in FY 2024
From June 1, 2023, to May 31, 2024, RGP highlighted several notable outcomes that reflect its human-first mindset and operational discipline.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
RGP’s culture centers on flexibility and choice, and the workforce data shows progress at multiple levels. By the close of FY 2024, 55% of the U.S. workforce was female. Representation held strong up the ladder too: women accounted for 54% of management roles at the VP level and above, and 80% of the C-suite. The firm also emphasized racial and ethnic diversity, with 34% of U.S. employees identifying as racially or ethnically diverse. That diversity extended into leadership—26% in leadership roles and 40% within the C-suite. The takeaway is straightforward: representation isn’t limited to entry-level roles; it’s visible where decisions get made.
Learning & Development
Continuous learning is treated as a core part of the employee experience. In FY 2024, RGP invested approximately 11,910 hours in learning opportunities. The company offers a mix of formats and tailored resources to help people build skills that matter now and over time. The goal is practical: help employees grow their careers while strengthening well-being and performance, without asking them to choose one over the other.
Talent Engagement
Engagement is watched closely because it correlates with client outcomes and retention. RGP regularly surveys employees to understand what’s working and where to adjust. Over the fiscal year, the voluntary turnover rate for internal management employees was 9%, a data point that suggests the firm’s approach to listening and responding is helping it keep talent and continuity.
Environmental Sustainability
RGP completed its first greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory covering FY 2024 operations. With this baseline, the company plans to establish science-aligned targets in line with the Science-based Targets Initiative (SBTi). Measuring impact is a necessary step toward reducing it; this work sets the foundation for more precise goals and accountability over time.
Data Privacy and Cybersecurity
On security, RGP adopted the CIS CSC framework to guide its information security program. Employees receive monthly training that keeps practices current and habits sharp. The company reported no record of substantive breaches in FY 2024, an outcome that reflects steady attention to people, process, and controls.
