Linklaters About Us News Responsibility Contact us Alumni Online services Client Services Lawyers Locations Insights Careers You are here: Home→ Responsibility Print this page Responsibility We recognise that virtually all the activities in the legal sector have some impact on society and the environment. As a leading global law firm, we want our performance to be measured not only by our profitability as a business but also by our impact on the societies and environments in which we operate. As part of our commitment to responsible business, we launched ‘Our Deal’ which sets out high-level, global statements of mutual commitment between the firm and our people, as well as our award-winning ‘Collective Responsibility’ strategy with the aim of embedding corporate responsibility in all that we do. This strategy is something we believe must be at the heart of our culture and underpins the spirit of the firm – who we are both individually and together. Examples of how we have embedded this strategy in the culture of the firm, across our network of 29 offices in 20 countries, can be found in our 2014 CR Report. We provide our clients with cross-jurisdictional advice on issues relevant to corporate responsibility such as, environment and sustainable real estate, risk and governance, anti-bribery and corruption, whistleblowing and crisis management. We have moved from strength to strength across the areas of environment, diversity, health and wellbeing, pro bono and community investment. We look forward to working further on these successes as we deliver on our commitment to responsible business. The foundation of our work in this area comes from a belief that the rule of law is essential to human progress, underpinning economic activity and the development of societies across the globe. Our work is to enable the world of business - and through our pro bono activity, wider society - to benefit from the rule of law and the integrity, fairness and certainty that it brings. Linklaters LLP supports the 10 principles of the Global Compact on human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. We are committed to making the Global Compact and its principles part of the strategy, culture and day-to-day operations of our company, and to engaging in collaborative projects which advance the broader development goals of the United Nations, particularly the Sustainable Development Goals. Corporate sustainability strategies and initiatives are governed by the highest level of our partnership by a global Corporate Responsibility Committee which includes our Chairman and Senior Partner. We look forward to working further on these successes in the future as we deliver on our commitment to be a responsible business.
