Corporate Responsibility
We are defined by our values, and we are proud to have a culture of respect within our organisation in terms of our people and strategy. Our carefully selected pro bono partners and programmes are a further reflection of our commitment to promoting diversity and social inclusion. These allow us to give back to society while maximising the positive impact of our employees’ legal expertise.
Together with our clients we can have a huge impact on how we determine the sustainable aspects of businesses, now and in the future.

Sustainable Development Goals
We have defined our own Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which are an urgent call for action in a global partnership developed by the United Nations. They provide tools for companies to tackle the different areas in their sustainability work. SDGs cover aspects in terms of environment, people, human rights, regional and cultural differences and economy.
There are altogether 17 UN SDGs, of which we have collectively selected five. Based on these, we created three personalised themes to describe how we can build a more responsible society.
Borenius SDGs are:
- Gender equality No. 5
- Decent work and economic growth No. 8
- Climate action No. 13
- Life on land No. 15
- Peace, justice and strong institutions No. 16
