Responsible business

We are always thinking about the future. That means doing our part to help tackle the world's problems and engaging our people across the firm to help us create a positive impact in our communities.

Many of our clients are working through their businesses, charities and philanthropy to tackle the climate emergency, reduce inequality and support communities, and we are proud to help them make their initiatives more effective.

We focus on our impact too. From our greener buildings program to our employee networks, we are always pushing ourselves to be better. We take on important cases on a pro bono basis, and we offer mentoring and apprenticeships as a way to broaden access to legal careers.

Our responsibility framework (below) is a vital part of the firm's strategy, and each group is led by partners across the firm, supported by teams across the US, Europe and Asia to help us deliver important initiatives.

We are seeing measurable results. For example, we are tracking our carbon output at a detailed level, and have achieved Planet Mark certification for all our offices around the world. This will help us identify further changes to create the greatest impact in the coming years.

From new office refurbishment to diversity, equity and inclusion, wellbeing, pro bono and our giving back initiatives across our offices, we seek to create a positive impact for our people and for our local communities. Take a look at what our people are achieving across the firm below.

Achieving social impact: how OX Delivers is changing lives in Rwanda

We were delighted to welcome our client OX Delivers as we marked International Women's Day 2023, to share the incredible work they are doing in Rwanda to tackle transport poverty and create life changing opportunities for women. Thank you to our wonderful speakers from OX Delivers Simon Davis, Natalie Dowsett and Francine Uamahoro, our Withers hosts Justine Markovitz and Philip Reed, and of course everyone who attended this memorable event.
