Social and environmental responsibility (SER)
Vogel & Vogel is a signatory to the Diversity Charter, which promotes gender equality, equal opportunities and diversity within law firms.
A lever for cohesion and well-being in the workplace, the Diversity Charter encourages its signatories to get involved in tangible actions that are regularly assessed.
Within the firm, these actions include :
- setting objective criteria for remuneration and career development, implementing an equal opportunities recruitment policy
- promoting the firm’s female talent
- recruiting international profiles
- promoting integration through the Vogel Global Competition Network
- welcoming French and foreign interns, with the possibility of hiring them on completion of their internship.
Taking into account the challenges of social and environmental responsibility is a key element in the firm's strategy.
This SER approach unites all our teams around social and environmental commitments, such as :
- work-life balance
- the drafting of a working from home charter
- team and individual interviews several times a year
- the creation of Vogel Academy
- the drafting of a Vogel Eco-attitude charter
- a policy of dematerialization
- a policy of reducing energy costs
- a policy of reducing waste at source
- a selective sorting policy
- the purchase of green and/or recyclable products.
In 2022, the firm was awarded the “Silver” label for its SER policy, placing it among the top 20% of law firms assessed by EcoVadis. The organization assessed the integration of SER principles into the firm’s activities, as well as their impact in the following areas: environment, social & human rights, ethics and responsible purchasing.
