Corporate Social Responsibility

Today all organisations need to consider how their actions affect their stakeholders, including their employees, the community and the environment. Fail to meet the standards of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and your organisation could face reputational damage, financial hardship and a clouded future.

We deliver:

• Independent third party advice - from highly qualified lawyers in disciplines from corporate governance, to environmental law and workplace relations. We can help you develop a legal compliance strategy that protects and builds your organisation’s reputation.
• Global insight – through our global alliance with DLA Piper, our team offers the latest insight into the issues, laws and international frameworks shaping CSR developments around the globe.
• Risk management - and more - we can help drive CSR throughout your organisation – starting at the top with boardroom and executive education, and creating and propagating a valuable, workable CSR policy. Then help your organisation meet global and local standards including the Global Reporting Initiative, ISO 18000 and 14000.

The crucial risk management tool is a comprehensive assessment of how your organisation is tracking against CSR standards in areas including:

• Employment policies and practices.
• Supply chain management.
• Health, safety and environmental practices.
• Practices relating to human rights and diversity.
• Transparency and corporate governance.
• Directors' duties.
• Misleading and deceptive conduct.
• D&O insurance.
