Corporate Social Responsibility

At HEUSSEN, we recognize that our actions extend beyond the legal realm– they impact society, the environment, and the people we work with. We are committed to integrating sustainability, diversity, and community engagement into our business practices. Our approach is built on the three pillars of People, Planet, and Prosperity, ensuring that our firm operates responsibly. 

People: Diversity & Inclusion

We believe diversity drives success. Our team is made up of individuals from diverse backgrounds and nationalities, fostering an inclusive and dynamic work environment. Inclusion for us, means to create an atmosphere where different groups or individuals are culturally and socially accepted, welcomed, and valued.

That is why we recognize that these differences can be self-evident, such as national origin, age, race, ethnicity, religion, gender, and socioeconomic background, or they could be more inherent, including educational background, training, sector experience and organizational tenure. At its core, our approach is about empowering people by respecting and appreciating what makes them unique.

We are committed to:

✔ Equal opportunities in recruitment, professional growth, and leadership roles.

✔ Creating an environment where different perspectives, viewpoints and opinions are valued and respected.

✔ Investing in talent by providing continuous professional development and career advancement opportunities.

By unlocking and utilizing individual potential, we empower our people to thrive and contribute to a more inclusive legal industry. 

Planet: Sustainability & Environmental Responsibility

Sustainability is mainly embedded in our daily operations. When selecting our Amsterdam office in 2012, we prioritized environmental impact, and therefore ended up choosing the Oval Tower, a pioneering Green Building designed according to LEED® sustainability standards. 

Our commitment to sustainability further includes:

✔ Energy efficiency – Our office integrates multiple energy-saving features.

✔ Sustainable mobility – We provide all employees with compensation for public transportation, and have dedicated EV charging points for electric cars.

✔ Eco-conscious operations – We reduce paper usage through digital workflows and mandatory double-sided printing.

✔ Sustainable dining – Our office restaurant exclusively offers organic and locally sourced food. 

Prosperity: Giving Back to the Community

Beyond legal services, we believe in supporting the communities we serve. HEUSSEN, along with its employees, contributes to a range of charitable initiatives, cultural institutions, and educational programs, including:

✔ Education & Personal Development – We support mentorship programs and initiatives that create learning opportunities and help individuals reach their full potential.

✔ Sponsorship & Advocacy – We support local charitable organizations.
