Delivering Value to the Society

Dittmar & Indrenius > Sustainability

We believe it is our duty and privilege to give back.

As attorneys, we see ourselves as servants of the society. It is our mission to build a better society through our legal experience and expertise.

Sustainability is a central part of Dittmar & Indrenius’ culture, legal advice and role in society. Contributing to the common good has natural roots in our values and Cultural Cornerstones.

Our external sustainable advice and internal procedures go hand in hand. Sustainability in our internal actions also has intrinsic value as it promotes the well-being of our employees.

For us, at Dittmar & Indrenius, responsibility means a set of shared values concerning:

  • How we provide legal advice
  • Promoting justice and serving society at large
  • How we treat each other

These values form a central part of our firm’s culture. We all agree on their importance.

Insightful Advice

With our clients, we want to help to build sustainable businesses.

Our mission is to build a better society and help our clients succeed, not only in today’s economy but in decades to come.

This requires legal advice that refers not only to law but to other considerations such as moral, economic, social and political factors, that may be relevant to our clients’ businesses.

Sustainability Cannot Be Achieved Alone

We have a clear mission of delivering value to the society through our experience and expertise. We work closely with our pro bono partners so that we may contribute to sustainability through WWF Finland, to children in need through the Finnish Hospital Clowns and Ronald McDonald House, and to world peace through the Crisis Management Initiative (CMI).

Since 2022 Dittmar & Indrenius has been committed to the UN Global Compact corporate responsibility initiative and its principles in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment, and anti-corruption.

We are a FIBS Partner. FIBS (Finnish Business & Society) is the largest corporate responsibility network in the Nordic countries, a leading promoter of sustainable business and developer of corporate expertise. We have been a FIBS Partner since 2019.

We are a WWF Green Office. We strive to inspire others and decrease our own ecological footprint as a committed WWF Green Office since 2014.

Team Before Individual

Our systems, processes and the way we communicate with each other, reflect our value-based Cultural Cornerstones that also entail a sense of communality. This is what our zero tolerance for discrimination and value of equality are based on. We also survey this regularly.

Powerhouse is our operative model for client work but it also helps us to monitor and allocate our work evenly and equally, and also to monitor and improve our working methods and environment. It is the practical embodiment of our Cultural Cornerstones.

We are happy to bring our knowledge to use where it may make a difference and help create a better tomorrow.

WWF Finland

WWF Finland’s mission is to stop biodiversity loss and build a future in which people live in harmony with nature. Since its establishment, WWF Finland has achieved significant conservation wins both in Finland and internationally.

We are inspired by WWF Finland both for their vital mission and achievements but also for them being a Great Place to Work. As a long-term board member of WWF Finland we are proud to be supporting them to work even more effectively and be more innovative to reverse the trend of unsustainable development.

At D&I, we strive to inspire others and decrease our own ecological footprint as a committed WWF Green Office.

CMI – Martti Ahtisaari Peace Foundation

CMI – Martti Ahtisaari Peace Foundation is an independent Finnish organisation that works to prevent and resolve violent conflicts through informal dialogue and mediation. Nobel Peace laureate and former President of Finland Martti Ahtisaari founded CMI in 2000. Since then, the organisation has grown to become one of the leaders in its field.

We are deeply inspired by CMI’s increased global impact and impressed by their hard work in complex dispute resolution. At D&I, we like to see our comprehensive support to CMI as a piece of peace.

The Finnish Hospital Clowns Association

The Finnish Hospital Clowns Association (Sairalaalaklovnit) is an organization that has trained clown doctors to go around children’s departments entertaining and cheering up the little patients and their families. Their aim is to make children forget their illness for a moment and be cheerful, laugh freely and clown around in the middle of their everyday life in a hospital.

“Small joy is a big thing”, they say. We are proud to be supporting The Finnish Hospital Clowns Association in planting seeds of hope and strength where the future of this society most need them.

 

Ronald McDonald Childrens' House Fund

Ronald McDonald House offers homelike apartmental housing for families from far away when their child needs treatment in the childrens’ hospital in Helsinki. Their service is of crucial importance for the wellbeing of both the patient and her family.

We are very proud of our continued support to the Ronald McDonald House and of their relentless support to the unity of Finnish families in challenging times.

 

 

UN Global Compact

Since 2022 Dittmar & Indrenius has been committed to the UN Global Compact corporate responsibility initiative and its principles in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment, and anti-corruption.

We are proud to support the United Nations Global Compact as part of our commitment to being a responsible company. This commitment is to operate responsibly, in alignment with universal sustainability principles, take actions to support society, and report to the UN Global Compact annually on our ongoing efforts.
