VWV Responsible Business Strategy

At VWV, our responsible business strategy is inspired by our vision to be admired for our unparalleled partnerships and building successful relationships that support, challenge, and champion progress for all.

Our ambition is to drive meaningful progress for our people, our communities, and the environment. Being part of a responsible business will mean different things to different people and we have grouped our strategy around three key focus areas.

People

We offer fair and inclusive employment opportunities. We encourage social mobility and aim to make a career at VWV or the wider legal profession more accessible through a range of initiatives, including sponsoring and supporting outreach initiatives, collaborating with local community partners and investing in apprenticeships.

We are committed to continually improving our workplace so that everyone can thrive. Our focus on well-being, inclusion, diversity and professional development, creates a collaborative environment that supports and challenges individuals to reach their full potential.

We have the same expectations of those who provide services to us.

Communities

Our community-focused initiatives reflect our belief in partnerships that create lasting change. We collaborate with local organisations through our charities of the year and pro bono initiatives. We encourage volunteering and engagement within our local and business communities.

We believe that the future of innovation and progress lies in the power of collaboration within our communities. We aspire to be a leader in open-sourced collaboration - creating and participating in opportunities for transparent, accessible, and inclusive partnerships both within the legal profession and our wider communities.
