CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

As a leader in the accountancy world, we are committed to ethical and sustainable business practices, and we recognise that we have a social responsibility to our employees, clients, communities and the environment. Some of our community support activities are detailed here.

Pro-bono work

We typically donate in excess of £200,000 of pro bono services per annum to good causes including charities, education providers and hospitals. And it is not just the giving of time and expertise. Through our Give as you earn scheme, staff can make regular donations to causes they care about, straight from their pay.

Support in the community

We help support up-and-coming artists by displaying their works at our London office, and by holding an annual reception for potential buyers, clients and the artists, who are on-hand to present their works.

The works are curated by the Ingram Collection, which supports emerging artists through its Young Contemporary Talent Programme. Rawlinson & Hunter is delighted to sponsor one of the highlights of this programme – the annual Purchase Prize exhibition.

One of our core values is a Commitment to Our Communities. As part of this, we have volunteering groups in our London and Leatherhead offices run at a local level by staff, supported by the Partners. Each year, staff can spend a day taking part in a team-based volunteering activity supporting a local charity

Charitable fundraising

Over the years, staff and Partners have raised tens of thousands of pounds for a variety of good causes and charities. Currently, the Firm is supporting two charities. The Royal Marsden is the staff nominated charity, and Artis is the charity that the Partners have chosen.

Throughout the year, fundraising activities are held to support each of the charities from sponsored walks to bake sales. The Firm will often match donations raised by staff, ensuring each of the charities can do that little bit more.

Sustainability

We are committed to sustainability and have introduced a number of initiatives including:

All waste separated and recycled where possible
Electricity supplied from renewable sources
Motion activated lighting in both offices
VRF air conditioning incorporating a heat recovery system
100% fresh air system
