Castrén & Snellman published its sustainability report for 2024

• We are privileged to work alongside our clients in projects that promote sustainable development, whether bringing about the energy transition, developing sustainable finance or building sustainability due diligence processes. Our ESG and Corporate Sustainability service, launched in 2024, has established a position as the leading ESG practice among Finnish law firms.
• Gender equality is in a good place in many respects. Equality of pay between women and men lawyers at C&S was validated by an external survey. In addition, men colleagues take more parental leave in terms of working months than before.
• Our work for diversity and inclusion shows good results. According to a survey carried out with an external partner, C&S employees feel part of the team and think they can be their authentic selves at work. This sense of inclusion was strong also among employees who identify with minorities.
• We improved our emissions inventory by complementing data on air travel.
• We completed our first double materiality assessment in line with the new European standards, which clarified the picture of the sustainability topics that matter the most for us and our stakeholders.

In the end, sustainability does not happen in reports but in the daily work. We are grateful to our clients, employees and partners who helped us build sustainable success stories in 2024.
