About Us Corporate Social Responsibility

At MacRoberts, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a part of our every day. It includes our approach to developing and maintaining credible and long term relationships with employees and clients, being socially responsible in our surrounding areas and beyond, and being environmentally friendly.

A twofold approach to CSR

At MacRoberts, we see the purpose of CSR as two-fold: firstly, to help us give something back to the community in which we work; and secondly, to foster a team spirit within the firm, bonding people together and making us closer as work colleagues, generating a pride in who we are and how we work, which translates to a better service to our clients.

The community aspects of our approach to CSR are not driven by an agenda set by partners, but rather allowed to grow organically, enabling all partners and staff within the firm to consider the objectives that they would like the firm to achieve.

Charity Partnerships

We have a number of charity partnerships which you can find out more about below.
