Building our ESG and sustainability team

We continue to grow our ESG and sustainability team and are delighted to welcome Chris Fuggle to the UK. Chris, who is Mazars’ Global Head of Sustainability, has located to London from Singapore to build our expertise and further develop our offering to clients in this area.

New clients in the spotlight

We are delighted to call a few more listed businesses clients, with recent advisory appointments to Trustpilot (Risk Advisory) and AstraZeneca (Technology Consulting).

Global developments

The merger of BKD and DHG in the US further strengthens our capacity to service international clients through the Mazars North America Alliance with the creation of FORVIS, now ranked the 8^th largest accounting firm in the US by FY21 revenue. Both firms are long-time members of the Praxity Alliance.

We continue to actively support our Ukrainian colleagues and have ceased all Mazars activities in Russia, ensuring to the greatest extent possible a seamless and quality transition for our clients and a sustainable path for our Russian partners and staff.
