Managing our impact on the wider community

snapshotour strategyclient focuskey factsCSRonline servicesalumni

Corporate social responsibility

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is about companies and firms managing their impact on our society, our economy and our environment.  It is an opportunity for the business community to meet and exceed the expectations of clients, consumers, employees, governments and other stakeholders beyond their statutory obligations.

To help us meet our CSR objectives the firm is a member of Corporate Responsibility Group, the London Benchmarking Group, East London Business Alliance, ProHelp (Bristol), Arts & Business and LawWorks.

Client relationships

The first responsibility for all business is its economic impact.  For our firm this means focusing on building strong, long-term relationships with our clients, based upon a thorough knowledge and understanding of their business.

Our clients seek our advice on a wide range of issues.  They place considerable trust in our ability to provide them with tailored advice that meets their business needs.  This demands that we act with a high degree of integrity at all times and that we respect our clients’ wishes for confidentiality throughout.

Environmental management

Running any business has an impact on the environment.  Equally running a business efficiently makes good business sense.  In 2002, we launched our environmental management programme.  The programme is ongoing, but we are proud of our successes to date.  more...

Investing in our people

Teamwork, effective management of our people and personal development are three of the four cornerstones of our values (the fourth being better client relationships).  We believe fundamentally that we cannot provide our clients with consistent, high quality services without investing in the well-being and development of our people.   more...

Health and safety

Our health and safety policy recognises that the control of all health and safety matters arising from our work activities is not only an essential feature of our efficient operation, but is also a civil and statutory obligation.  more...

 

Community investment

We recognise that there is an appropriate role for business in helping to tackle some of the issues affecting our society.  We also recognise that employee volunteering, offering our professional services for free, and organising charitable fundraising initiatives, creates valuable opportunities for personal development and teamwork.  more...

Diversity

Our objective is to enhance diversity and create a supportive culture in which all employees regardless of ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, nationality or disability can develop their skills, advance their careers and maximise their potential.  We are involved in a number of initiatives that demonstrate our approach to inclusion.    more...
