Kinly appoints Rhea Horlock as first global head of CSR

Kinly has recruited Rhea Horlock as its first global corporate social responsibility (CSR) lead.

Horlock brings 10 years of CSR and environmental expertise to the role, which she will use to spearhead the development and implementation of strategies and policies aligning with Kinly’s ethical, sustainable and environmental responsibilities.

She joins Kinly from NHS Property Services, where she was head of CSR. Horlock has also worked on the sustainability teams at O2 and Royal Mail.

Kinly chief executive Tom Martin said: “At Kinly, we recognise the importance of integrating CSR into our core values and business strategies, and we are therefore delighted that Rhea is joining our team to underscore our commitment to advancing sustainable and socially responsible business practices.

“Kinly believes that these practices not only benefit the communities we operate in, but also foster employee satisfaction and ensure the long-term sustainability of our business.

“Rhea brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record in developing and implementing CSR initiatives that drive social and environmental change, and we look forward to the positive impact she will bring as we continue to strive for excellence in both business and social responsibility.”

The company’s global people director, Katy Thorpe, said: “Rhea will oversee CSR from a global perspective, recognising the positive work we have already put into place while adding further value through new ideas and innovations.”

Horlock said: “It’s great to be joining Kinly on the journey to becoming a more socially and environmentally sustainable organisation. I was impressed by Kinly’s CSR ambitions, the initiatives it already has in place, and its understanding of the benefits that a strong CSR strategy can have on the business.”
