Responsibility

Working on laptop

As the world adapts to a new normal, business leaders are facing significant challenges. Adopting a values led culture that is both alert and responsive to the challenges and opportunities of doing business responsibly and sustainably is of paramount importance.

Why work with our Responsibility team?

There is an increased stakeholder interest in how and where organisations do business, who they do business with and the level of ambition and action to integrate and manage ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) risks. Committing to and implementing a responsible, authentic, social and environmental strategy is key. Integral to this goal is workplace culture, addressing governance issues and leading a business responsibly. It is essential for leaders to create an inclusive and prosperous environment for their employees, customers, suppliers, shareholders, investors and communities.

A leader’s legal and ethical duties of ensuring that their business and employees act in a responsible and accountable manner are now a commercial imperative. Working for an organisation with a genuine commitment to a value-led purpose and conscience is an increasingly important prerequisite for top talent. Added to that, brand damage and personal liability is increasingly common where businesses fail to address ethical behaviour.

How we can help you

DWF work in partnership with leadership teams to help foster a positive culture in a changing society and ensure their business is engaged effectively on its brand values and reputation, with a focus on leading ethically and working collaboratively to deliver sustainability goals.

Our highly skilled multi-disciplinary Responsibility team brings together expertise from a range of areas. From carrying out global D&I investigations to highly complex data breach cases, from dealing with government investigations and directors duties to implementing energy strategies that exceed obligations and standards - we are confident that we can help your senior leadership team fulfil their ESG responsibilities.

Through our educational and ambassador programme we work with boards, senior leadership teams, global and specialist teams and individuals focusing on the material responsibilities of organisations and the focus they should have for the future. Our sessions are led by a team of ESG specialists providing relevant and tailored guidance putting commitment into action. 
Our programmes are interactive, engaging and informative, using key technology to engage and provide real time insights into the key challenges faced.

The bespoke sessions focus on the legal and (where relevant) regulatory parameters within the changing environment. Additionally we facilitate discussions on the rise of different leadership skills, including tone from the top, empathy and driving purpose.
