| Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer has launched the first international, externally assured corporate social responsibility (CSR) report produced by a law firm. The report covers each of Freshfields’ 26 offices around the world and follows the release of the firm’s London-focused CSR report in 2005. The report, ‘Corporate Social Responsibility: Making a difference around the world’, is in line with Freshfields’ pledge to expand the scope of the report to include the firm’s international activities. The firm’s community and pro bono data is also assured by the London Benchmarking Group and its carbon footprint has been independently reviewed by the Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Management. Using recognised benchmarks, ‘Making a difference around the world’ covers a wide variety of activities and commitments. It is organised under the general areas of law and ethics; people and diversity; climate change and environment; and community and pro bono legal advice. |
