Click to download reflection paper "The ABC of CSR".
Goodlabs were recently engaged by leading North East commercial law firm Muckle LLP to undertake a strategic review of their Corporate Social Responsibility. The company, headquartered in Newcastle, is already widely recognised for its achievements in CSR and it so speaks of the ambitions of the senior partners that they are determined to make an even bigger social impact in the years ahead.
The strategic review considered the full breadth of activity being undertaken by the firm - from operating its own philanthropic foundation, through to pro-bono legal support to grassroots charities, its strong environmental agenda, a commitment to the flourishing of local schools and releasing staff for 'community days'.
In its final 12,000 word report Goodlabs commended the firm's Ambition, Breadth and Consistency. A wide range of recommendations were made to the partners all designed to answer the question:
"How can more people’s lives change for the better because Muckle is a law firm that leads the way in CSR?”
Upon receiving the final report senior partner Hugh Welch commented:
"The depth of analysis and thought in the overall report were really quite exceptional. It has been of immeasurable benefit to us and I am hugely grateful to Goodlabs for a remarkable piece of work.”
