Corporate Social Responsibility

As Walpole Dunn continues to expand, we are increasingly aware of the impact we have on our local community, our colleagues, and the environment. Now more than ever, it is important to create a positive impact and act responsibly as a business. That is why Walpole Dunn is pleased to share our Corporate Social Responsibility policies and commitments, all of which are built on our core values of ambition, empathy and accountability.

The commitments of our CSR policy include: 

In Our Community

Being able to support local charities has always been a key goal of ours ever since we opened our practice in 2016. Through donations and fundraising we have raised over £7,000 for local charities.

The team at WD is always up for a challenge and we love being able to take them on as part of helping charities local to Taunton and Somerset. 

See some of the past challenges we have done to raise money and awareness for local charities from around the community.

Environment

Even as a small business, we are aware that we have an impact on our local and global environment. It is our responsibility to leave a positive imprint on our planet through reducing our impression on natural resources and giving back to nature.

That is why Walpole Dunn is pleased to unveil our environmental commitments, in line with our objective of being a responsible business.

We will undertake a yearly review to assess our impact on the environment and outline steps for improvement.

Our overall aim is to reach ‘Net-Zero’ by 2025 and maintain this as we continue to grow. Our current carbon footprint is 26.72 Tonnes CO2e.

To engage and update the entire team in our environmental commitments, we will have a revolving ‘green monitor’.

The green monitor will ensure the entire team is engaging with our efforts to positively impact on the environment.

We will undertake a yearly review to assess our impact on the environment and outline steps for improvement.

Our commute is the biggest contributor to our carbon footprint, so we will focus on reducing this through employee incentives and rewards.

We commit to exclusively use green supplies from green, local suppliers, wherever possible. We also aim to remove all one-use products from our office over the next year.

We hope these measures will ultimately remove waste from the workplace.

We commit to undertaking regular sustainability training, to understand our evolving impact on the environment and learn how to improve. 

This will be achieved through a mix of certified training and informal learning.

To ensure we are always going above and beyond in reducing our impact on the environment, Walpole Dunn will undertake eco-challenges.

With the aim of encouraging our whole team to reduce their personal impact on the environment.
