Being a sustainable and responsible business is aligned with our strategic plan and our core values as a firm. We have a long history of contributing to our wider community which originated with our founder, and we strive to build on this foundation year on year.

This year’s Sustainable Business Impact report demonstrates our activities for our financial year 2023/24. Since we first began to report voluntarily on our sustainable business activities in 2021, we have aligned our activities with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. This year we do the same, as well as striving to align our future reporting with the requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. Highlights of this year’s report include:

• Environment: Updates on our carbon emissions targets, as well as our other initiatives focused on resource efficiency and minimising environmental impact
• Workplace: An overview of our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion strategy and our efforts to foster a culture where our people can thrive
• Community: Our work with charities, support of educational institutions, volunteering activities as well as our significant commitments to pro bono legal work
• Marketplace: Our approach to responsible procurement, with the aim of delivering long-term benefits to both the firm and our stakeholders
