As a leading business and major employer in the UK, Hill Dickinson is committed to active and progressive corporate citizenship, recognised most recently in June 2010 when Hill Dickinson was awarded Corporate Philanthropy Award at the Spirit of Merseyside Awards 2010. The accolade is awarded to the corporate partner of the Community Foundation that has made a significant difference to communities across Merseyside by embracing the values of philanthropy.
Hill Dickinson always been very much part of the fabric of each of the communities in which we operate. Our commitment goes way beyond geographic boundaries and includes contributions to market sectors and professional communities, operating both nationally and internationally. We are members of the CSR Legal Network and support the Community Foundation Network, and we were one of the first UK law firms to reach carbon zero status.
We have an evolutionary, cross-office and wide-ranging agenda of social and ethical support programmes. Our overall CSR agenda (see diagram below) illustrates the various elements we focus on to ensure our business has a truly embedded approach to CSR.
2010 and beyond...
In 2010 Hill Dickinson celebrates its bicentenary and our success
over this long period is partly down to the continued support we
have received from the communities in which we operate. We look
forward to reciprocating that support and working closely with
local communities for another 200 years.
Our commitments
We recognise the
importance of protecting the environment. To keep up to date with
the ever-changing environmental initiatives we have established a
green team who ensure that we actively promote, re-evaluate and
continually improve our environmental policy.
We also recognise our business activities inevitably have a direct impact on our clients, suppliers, and also on our communities nationally and globally. We also realise our business activities have negative impacts on the environment. These arise from issues including the carbon footprint of vehicles, energy use in our office, waste generation, and the use of non-renewable resources.
We are fully committed to reducing these impacts, and continually aim to improve our CSR performance.
