Our strategy
Helping our clients, our people and our communities to thrive
Our purpose and values are at the heart of our responsible business strategy and we are committed to embedding responsible business practices throughout our global operations, working across four key areas of focus:
People
We empower our people by creating a values-led, diverse and inclusive culture with wellbeing at its heart and invest in everyone’s future through learning and development.
Community
We make a positive impact on the communities in which we live and work through our pro bono, volunteer and charitable activities, using our talents and time for the benefit of others.
Environment
We are committed to protecting our planet by reducing our environmental impact and promoting the conservation of natural resources.
Governance and ethics
We safeguard the highest levels of professional standards and integrity throughout our governance structures and commitment to ethical business practices.
Our responsible business working group, led by our Managing Partner, engages professionals throughout the firm working together on our overall strategy to advance our People, Community, Environment, and Governance and ethics goals. Learn more about our structure in the Governance and ethics section of this report.
We are proud to have been selected as a “Community Impact Leader” finalist as part of The National Law Journal Legal Awards program for our diverse range of client-facing work and responsible business and pro bono initiatives.
Underpinning all we do We are proud to be a participant in the UN Global Compact and to support the Ten Principles and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the Compact. This is a public pledge of our commitment to being a responsible business and helps us to evaluate our progress through annual reporting to the UN.
