HOW WE GIVE BACK

Hamburg Triathlon

The firm is committed to being a responsible business, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a valued element of our business strategy. Our approach to CSR takes three strands: community engagement, charitable giving, and environmental action. Supporting the communities in which we work includes employee volunteering at local schools and care homes, as well as clothing, food, toy and blood donation drives. In addition, lawyers across the firm are engaged in pro bono work for various causes; in recent years, we have worked with organisations involved in issues related to human rights, freedom of the press, immigration and refugees, and disability benefit claim appeals. We also give back to the legal community through our participation in the International Lawyers for Africa (ILFA) programme, which aims to build legal excellence and promote the rule of law in Africa by providing access to advanced legal training, networking opportunities and education for African lawyers. While employees across our offices raise donations for various causes, the main thrust of our charitable giving goes towards our Charity of the Year , which is selected by employees globally. In 2018, we are supporting WWF. We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint, adopting sustainable practices, and support activities which reduce the impact of climate change. These practices include recycling and efficient energy use throughout our offices globally.
