community
gadens melbourne describe the way we interact with one another and our clients, our culture, and the way we contribute to the community as our “third dimension”. Through our third dimension program we are continually monitoring our environmental performance and contribution to charitable and community programs.
We recognise the importance of environmental responsibility both locally and globally and are committed to fostering a culture of environmental awareness and developing systems promoting this philosophy within our workplace, our suppliers, and the broader community. An example of this is that gadens melbourne remain Victoria’s first “City Switch” signatory and have acted as a pilot firm for both the Melbourne City council and our landlord.
We have also engaged an external consultant to assist in framing a 3 year sustainability program to quantify existing and new sustainability initiatives.
gadens melbourne employ a multi facet approach to supporting the community. Every year, the firm make a substantial Christmas donation to charity as decided by internal stakeholders as well as several other larger donations. Supporting the firm’s financial contributions are our monthly charitable donations.
As our operational day to day management of the firm is undertaken by a separate Management team, our partners and legal staff are not only freed up to concentrate on ensuring superior legal service is delivered to our clients, but this structure also allows our staff to be in a position to actively commit themselves to assisting the community, either through pro bono legal services, or providing assistance personally to various initiatives. Many of our staff take advantage of this and assist a number of charitable and not for profit organisations.
