SSG Legal’s Corporate Social Responsibility
We want our contribution to be positive, to society and the environment, as well as to our clients, employees and stakeholders. We believe that trust, transparency and respect are the key to achieving this.
SSG Legal has a clear vision for corporate social responsibility. Our strategy for achieving this vision embraces the following key initiatives:
Highest standards within the workplace
SSG aims to observe high ethical standards in business and employee relationships. We encourage transparent business operations and performance, and in particular:
- promote the principle of a realistic, appropriate work/life balance to our Partners, employees, stakeholders and associates
- aim to create an inclusive environment that values employees from different backgrounds and enables everyone to reach his/her full potential
- have an open and fair recruitment policy
- run our business as a meritocracy, where talent drives success
Responsibility for our environmental impact
SSG Legal is a Carbon Aware company. As such we:
- acknowledge the impact our business could have on the environment, principally in terms of travel-related pollution and the usage of paper, water and waste
- aim to work closely with suppliers to incorporate the use of sustainable materials and technologies where appropriate
- encourage active participation by all staff in the collecting and recycling of appropriate materials within the workplace
- use technology responsibly
- sustain and protect our environment through carbon reducing work practices including the use of “green” suppliers, the promotion of electronic communication, the use of public transport where possible and a commitment to sustainable waste disposal
Positive action
We want to act as a corporate good citizen in local and regional communities as well as the business world. To this end we are proud to work with The c-change Trust, a UK based sustainability consultancy helping businesses to grow responsibly whilst actively making a positive contribution to their community and environment.
