Today is and thousands of citizens and organizations from around the world are raising their voice to join .

We’ve been thinking about the ways we can make peace with nature in our own lives. As part of our SS+A Values clarification process we defined Eco-consciousness as one of our top ten values. We believe that all our clients need to have a response to the climate emergency challenge - we don't need to be experts, however we should signpost the issue and ask clients what it means to their customers, and therefore how they themselves should respond. This is our pledge:

“We will work in harmony with nature to create sustainable outcomes and inspire responsible behaviours.”

Our Associates have also been pondering the ways in which they can live more harmoniously with nature as individuals. Read the article here |

"One thing that hasn’t changed is our relative positions as a country the world wants to visit, versus the welcome people can expect when they do: in 2020 we ranked second as a nation brand, behind only Germany, and 11th for quality of welcome."

"The retail offer is as attractive as the gardens themselves, and the new viewing tower offers stunning views across the Walled Garden."

The gardens were part of the Waterperry School of Horticulture for ladies, established by Beatrix Havergal in 1932.
