=mc is based on a core set of principles. These principles have remained the constant for almost 25 years. They inform almost every aspect of the way they work – from their approach to CSR to their client journey process and their hiring policy. All of these principles have practical action attached to them- whether it’s raising money to support Comic Relief or wearing a jumper before turning up the heating to reduce energy use.
