Corporate Responsibility

Our Commitment to CSR & Community

At TFA Trusted Financial Advice, corporate responsibility lies at the heart of everything we do. We’re committed to sustainable growth by integrating ethical governance, environmental stewardship, and meaningful social contributions into our daily operations. Our vision is to support thriving communities across the South and South West of England—while fostering an inclusive workplace culture and maintaining unwavering integrity.

Our advisers support a range of local clubs, societies and charities.

Ethical Business Practices

  • Client-first consultancy: As FCA-authorised financial advisers, we uphold transparency, impartiality, and best-in-market advice.
  • Diversity & Inclusion pledge: We’re proud signatories of the Women in Finance Charter, ensuring gender balance across senior roles and linking executive pay to inclusion goals—60% of our board are women, with ongoing efforts to boost representation among advisers and paraplanners.
  • Governance standards: Our commitment to professional, accountable leadership drives trust with clients, partners, and regulators.

Community Engagement & Volunteering

We strongly encourage our team to support the causes they care about through company-backed initiatives:

  • Local charity events: From Midnight Walks to epic cycling challenges, we sponsor staff participation and provide donations and extra leave.
  • St Luke’s Hospice Plymouth: A long-standing relationship featuring corporate sponsorship and fundraising—staff regularly join major events like the Tour de Moor, Midnight Walk, and even coast-to-coast cycles in Costa Rica. [tfagroup.co.uk]
  • Empowering employee passions: Instead of selecting one corporate charity, we empower individuals to engage with causes close to their hearts—enhancing team spirit, wellbeing, and social impact.

Philanthropic Leadership in Action

  • Completed the full Tour de France route twice to benefit the William Wates Memorial Trust
  • Rode John O’Groats to Land’s End in 2021, raising vital funds and awareness
  • Plans to return to the Tour de France route (“Le Loop”) in 2026.

Chris’s efforts exemplify how leadership can motivate collective good—from individual achievement to team-wide initiatives.

Education & Thought Leadership

We’re passionate about informed, sustainable decisions:

  • Smart Money guides & blogs: Regular insights on pensions, investments, mortgage strategy, and ESG considerations.
  • Media recognition: Award-winning service standards—from Feefo’s Platinum Trusted Service to accolades in ethical wealth management.
  • Publications: Insights into ESG opportunities, sustainable living, family finances, and market trends.
