Our policy and strategy

Since 2021, we annually report on our achievements in the field of sustainability. This is our third report; it discusses our sustainability and CSR work in 2022. We describe the progress we made – as well as where we fell short.

The report provides an overview of our main firm-wide sustainability and CSR activities and accomplishments and takes into account the issues that are material to our firm. For this report, we did not yet apply an international reporting standard, other than the SDG table. We are preparing for the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which came into effect in January 2023. We will be subjected to the CSRD in 2025 (reporting year 2026).

By publishing this report, we aim to ensure transparency and accountability with respect to our policies, actions, and goals in the field of sustainability and CSR. We welcome your feedback and invite you to enter into a dialogue with us about the role we have in society.

Our policy

In 2022, we further developed our Sustainability & CSR strategy and policy. Important steps were increasing cooperation on ESG topics both within and outside the firm, defining targets for our carbon footprint and reduction measures, and implementing our firm-wide Impact Programme for pro bono work and community engagement activities.
Our SDG focus

We use the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which define global priorities and aspirations for 2030 to address economic, social, and environmental challenges as starting point for our actions within the four pillars of our Sustainability & CSR policy and Impact Programme. We are committed to reducing the potential negative impact of our choices and to increasing the positive impact we can create. In doing so, we focus on SDGs 4, 5, 13, and 16. Through our actions and choices, we also have an impact on other SDGs.
Our ambitions for 2023

We do not only look back at what we have done so far, but also look ahead. What are our objectives for the four pillars of our CSR-policy: Our clients, Our people, Our operations, and Our society. So that next year we can tell you about the progress we’ve made in terms of achieving our objectives and where we have come up short and why.
