1. Environmental Policy 

Seraphus seeks excellence in every aspect of our business, but not at the expense of the environment. We are committed to minimising the environmental impact of our operations. 
To achieve this commitment, we aim to: 

  • Reduce materials consumption and improve efficiency in the use and management of resources.
  • Give priority to environmental considerations when we source and select products. 
  • Promote environmental awareness among all our employees by providing information and training, and foster an atmosphere of environmental responsibility in the workplace. 
  • Strive to improve our environmental performance and continually seek to identify and adopt innovative means of achieving this. 

To support these aims we will:

  • Reuse and recycle materials wherever possible thereby reducing our waste streams. 
  • Avoid wherever possible the use of hazardous products using alternatives to minimise environmental impact and reduce the production of waste requiring specialist treatment.
  • Support modes of transport by partners and staff that minimise environmental impact.

This policy will be regularly referred to in decision-making and internal management and operational meetings. It will be included during the induction of new staff and will be reviewed at regular intervals. 

2. Diversity and Inclusion Statement 

Our diversity and inclusion statement (DI) articulates our commitment to a diverse workforce and environment that respects individuals and their contributions irrespective of gender, race or other characteristics.

We are passionate about attracting, retaining and developing the most talented and skilled individuals from all backgrounds and we value people of all cultures, nationalities, races, religions, and ethnicities, regardless of characteristics such as gender, age, disability or sexual orientation.

We treat our clients, colleagues and partners fairly and with respect at all times.

We understand that diversity of people, perspectives, skills, experiences and ideas creates strength for our business and enables us to provide our clients with the best legal service possible.

As a responsible business and employer, it is important for us to act at all times with integrity, fairness and respect towards our employees, clients, suppliers and the wider community.
