Welcome to our second annual Corporate Responsibility (CR) report.
As a premium global business law firm, we affect society and the environment through the work we do for our clients, which facilitates trade and investment, as well as through the way we treat our people, run our operations and manage our community investment programmes. We also influence the evolution of legal and regulatory frameworks and advise on proposed changes.
In this turbulent year, we adapted to changing circumstances but we tried to stick to our values. This summary is for our clients. Our full corporate responsibility report is online and highlights how we dealt with the challenges we faced in endeavouring to meet our responsibilities to our clients, our people and the wider community.
We are proud to be the only law firm to have benchmarked our performance globally against the Business in the Community Corporate Responsibility Index and to have achieved the Silver level.
I would welcome your feedback via the CR contact page on our website.
