Corporate and social responsibility

At Nysingh, we believe that running a business is about more than merely providing legal services. We aim to make a positive contribution to a sustainable, equitable society in which everyone has the opportunity to participate. We make a positive impact in the world around us through conscious choices and commitment, both today and in the future. Our view of CSR is based on three pillars: sustainable business, an equitable society and a humane approach.

Sustainable business

Important touchstones for our organisation are reducing our ecological footprint and striving for a more sustainable future. In our day-to-day operations we consciously take our impact on the climate into account. We are actively committed to making our firm completely carbon-neutral within three years by making conscious, sustainable choices and offsetting any remaining emissions through reliable projects. We are also committed to reducing our carbon footprint by making sustainable choices in energy consumption, procurement, waste management and mobility. For example, we only use green power, invest in energy-efficient equipment and encourage conscious behaviour among our employees. We choose local and environmentally friendly products, limit food waste and carefully separate waste streams.

Equitable society

We consider access to justice and equal opportunities important pillars of an inclusive society. Legal support plays an essential role in this regard. We therefore e deploy our knowledge and resources in promoting access to justice. Our registered Oranje Fonds has been supporting social projects that help foster inclusion and create equal opportunities since 2019. At an international level we work with Lawyers for Lawyers, an organisation dedicated to protecting lawyers and strengthening the rule of law. We also set aside pro bono hours for social initiatives. thus helping to foster a more just world at local, national and international levels.

Human-centred approach

At Nysingh we are committed to creating an environment in which people are encouraged to develop both professionally and personally. In this regard, we adopt a human-centred approach. The general principle is that inclusion, personal growth and vitality are important pillars of both individual well-being and community engagement. This approach forms the basis for initiatives that promote the development of an inclusive society in which everyone is given equal opportunities and feels valued.

 

Over the course of the next few years, we will be taking further steps to ensure that our organisation provides room for individual development and community engagement. Our “Human-Centred Approach” pillar seeks to help foster a society in which everyone is given equal opportunities and is encouraged to grow and develop.

Collaboration is a powerful tool for accelerating social change. This is why Nysingh works with organisations that are committed to fostering equal opportunities, access to justice and to creating a more sustainable environment.
