Making an Impact as a Law Firm | Sustainability Report 2023
14 December 2023
In this 2023 sustainability report, we continue to describe our actions to integrate the Global Compact and its principles into our business strategy, culture, and daily operations.
Hannes Snellman is committed to the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact, with “Reduced Inequalities”, “Climate Action”, and “Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions (Rule of Law)” as our focus areas.
Sustainability, corporate citizenship and pro bono have been strongly rooted in our culture and operations ever since Hannes Snellman founded the firm in 1909. Each generation of our team has continued the efforts to keep the heritage of serving the community up to date and thriving, ensuring our ways of working develop and live in time. For us, corporate citizenship and sustainability means the practical realisation of the fundamental professional values of our firm, attorneys, and law firm professionals. We continue to be involved in a wide range of initiatives related to corporate citizenship and sustainability by promoting, with our expertise and resources, values and causes that benefit our community. Our firm also contributes to the society by participating in the development of legislation, by giving external lectures in collaboration with universities to educate and inspire the next generations, and by developing our own working environment. We work to improve diversity, equality, work-life balance, and socio-economic equality in several different projects and working groups both inside and outside our firm.
