Responsible business and society
With our comprehensive suite of legal services supporting social responsibility, we enable businesses to effectively address social issues, enhance stakeholder relationships, and make a positive impact on society while driving long-term sustainable growth.
We recognise and support the importance of creating a just and equitable community with your employees, customers, suppliers and beyond. Our ESG services are designed to help you identify and pro-actively address all aspects of social responsibility. We can help you with:
Supply chains
We can develop and negotiate contracts to promote fair labour practices and ensure diverse and ethical sourcing.
Employee incentivisation
We can advise on the Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) structure and offering incentives that align employee interests with long-term company success.
Equality, diversity and inclusion
We can support you in implementing policies and practices which promote inclusive workplaces and safeguard the rights of workers and minority groups.
Philanthropy and charitable initiatives
We can advise you on the most appropriate way to set up charities, community benefit or community interest societies and Family Investment Companies (FICs) to support your social and philanthropic endeavours.
B Corp certification
We can support businesses in their journey to become a B Corporation, guiding them through the certification process and helping them align their governance practices with the highest standards of social and environmental performance.
As part of our drive to embrace diversity and inclusion, we are an active partner of FFinc (previously WHN Group, and the Wealthiher Network), an authority on female financial advancement and with a loyal foundation of financial and professional services partners.
