Sustainability initiative

360-degree thinking

As a global legal services organization, we have stakeholders everywhere: our people and new recruits, our clients and suppliers, and the wider community. We have not yet formally held dialogues with our community partners, but over the next two years we plan to map these stakeholders in our major markets and ask how we can help them meet their needs and expectations of us.

While understanding that different countries have different traditions that need to be respected, we plan to define best-practice stakeholder engagement in major markets and share it with our offices around the world. One of the advantages of being such a large and diverse organization is that we can learn from each other, applying what we have discovered in one corner of the world to the challenges we face in another.

Engaging with stakeholders is an opportunity to test ourselves, to set and meet standards for how we do things and to interact with the people we depend on for DLA Piper’s success.
