CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

  • Environmental Sustainability

  • Charitable Giving

  • Diversity and Inclusion

Community involvement has always been a pertinent part of the Firm’s core values. We believe in the importance of having a positive impact on both our local and national communities. For this reason, we work best to understand the needs and priorities of our communities and how best we can assist by offering our skills, experience, time and philanthropic support to have the greatest impact. Our community involvement has three main areas of focus:

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

Developing a paperless initiative, a multifaceted program to promote green workplace behaviours, adopt best practices, and leverage technologies to reduce paper in the workplace. Our vision is to reduce both our off-site records inventory and physical consumption of paper within the next few years. Changing imaging technologies across the firm with the understanding that consistent use of features such as double-sided or multiple-page printing can dramatically decrease paper consumption. Sending electronic greetings for festivities and public holidays since the commencement of practice. In keeping with our commitment to the environment, this has eliminated paper wastage related to mailing cards and related paraphernalia. Using technological means for internal and external meetings, and where needed, to carpool using hybrid or electric vehicles.

CHARITABLE GIVING

Raihan & Shai, directly and through its lawyers and staff, contribute to a wide variety of charitable and non-profit organisations. We appreciate just how well-positioned we are as lawyers to have a positive impact on society. So, we try to use our expertise and experience, allied to the passion for justice that made us want to be lawyers in the first place, to do good. We encourage and promote engagement within our firm by rewarding and recognising those team members who donate their time to participate in pro bono work.

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

At Raihan & Shai, we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive work environment that offers every member of our team the opportunity and support to succeed. Firstly, it is the right thing to do. Secondly, it enables us to serve our clients more effectively. It is integral to our strategy to deliver the exceptional. We share with our clients the belief that teams with diverse viewpoints and perspectives produce more innovative and robust solutions. We recruit the highest calibre people, who bring their unique and varied talents, experiences and insights, enriching our workplace and our ability to exceed expectations. That said, it is not enough to lean on the past. We need to ensure that these values also drive our business internally. We have long been focused on achieving greater equality at every level in our practice, but there is more for us to do. By critically assessing the initiatives we have in place, never being satisfied when the pace of change is too slow and holding ourselves accountable every day we can and will make change happen.
