We want to leave a positive footprint in the communities in which we live and work. As a progressive modern business, we understand the importance of balancing commercial success with social and environmental sustainability – and so our work goes far beyond providing legal advice.

We donate time, energy, expertise and financial support to local causes and actively support the communities in which we operate. We adopt an environmentally forward-thinking approach, and we invest in making sure Thrings is a positive and rewarding place to work. We also provide advice to and raise money for a number of charities including:

 

We believe that creating a diverse and equal workplace is a moral requisite. We also believe that diversity and equal opportunities strengthen our knowledge, understanding and capabilities, creating a better work environment for our employees and a stronger resource for our clients.

All people are treated equally at Thrings, regardless of their age, disability, ethnic origin, gender, marital status, religion or beliefs, sexual orientation or working patterns. We respect all backgrounds and beliefs, and work proactively to create an environment where everyone can and does thrive.

We believe strongly in the value of pro bono work and its ability to contribute to a fair and just society. To this end, we ensure that our expertise is shared with those most in need. We encourage employees at all levels to take on pro bono work, donating time, experience and knowledge to a wide range of causes.

We recognise that our day-to-day business activities impact on our local environment in a number of ways. To mitigate this, we are committed to continually improving our environmental performance through a sustainable approach.

Our aims include:

• Managing the environmental impacts associated with our business by developing, and maintaining, relevant polices and processes
• Minimising the use of business travel, energy, materials, waste and water
• Complying with all applicable regulations and laws
• Setting targets and continually reviewing our environmental performance
• Identifying and communicating our successes both internally and externally
• Recognising where we have been less successful and putting improvement plans in place
• Expecting full commitment from our senior management to support our initiatives
• Raising awareness within the firm and encouraging staff engagement
• Working with our suppliers to improve our environmental performance
