Good Corporate Citizen
We take our responsibilities to society seriously and try to make a difference across four areas of impact: education, environment, equality and poverty. The dedication and passion of our volunteers has had real and measurable impact across our wider community, as well as within the firm, and we’re incredibly proud of what they’ve achieved.
Get involved:
Pro-bono: creating equal access to justice
Pro-bono: creating equal access to justice
Providing everyone with equal access to justice plays an important role in the building and growth of societies, allowing people to better understand and use the law and legal services in the protection of their rights. Obviously as a law firm we’re ideally placed to offer greater access to justice through pro-bono advice and support, and as an Osborne Clarke employee you can volunteer with organisations such as Z2K and the Bristol Law Centre.
Environment: supporting a sustainable future
Environment: supporting a sustainable future
Climate change is here, and no other single factor will determine the future of our world more than this. It’s why we’ve made Decarbonisation one of the pillars of our client offering. But recognising that responsibility starts at home, as a firm we’re committed to doing whatever we can to operate more sustainably.
Active over the last 15 years, OC’s colleague-led Sustainable Business Group has been instrumental in identifying and implementing changes to how we operate that reduce the firm’s carbon footprint, conserve our use of natural resources and encourage sustainable behaviour and business practices. We’re currently developing our Low Carbon Strategy, which will launch in 2022.
Education: a powerful route to empowerment
Education: a powerful route to empowerment
Education offers those who may be economically and socially marginalised the opportunity to rise above their individual circumstances and participate fully within society. With this in mind, we support a wide range of educational organisations with whom you can volunteer your time, including our flagship program ‘The Bridge’ with a local school which aims to provide career inspiration and employability skills to support the next generation.
Good Business
Ethical procurement, fair supplier management, an open dialogue with our stakeholders and good governance. These are all part of what we are.
We work to make sure that we do business in a fair and sustainable way.
