Law firm Stephenson Harwood LLP has won two awards – 'Best ESG communication strategy for the APAC region' and 'Best sustainability & ESG thought leadership for the APAC region' – at WealthBriefing's inaugural Wealth For Good Awards.

The awards recognise and showcase the ESG, impact, diversity and inclusion initiatives and efforts of firms and individuals.

"ESG is quite rightly at the top of the strategic agenda for many organisations, Stephenson Harwood among them," said Jamie Stranger, managing partner of Greater China, Stephenson Harwood. "We take a holistic approach, including looking beyond our own business and out to our suppliers, and to how we can support our clients in achieving their ESG ambitions. As well as ensuring that we are working in a responsible way, we also work with local organisations to support charities and NGOs in our communities, and offer pro bono advice to groups and individuals who might otherwise be unable to access legal representation. And we take it one step further: whether in relation to decarbonisation or ethical investments, looking at green financing options or extending their philanthropic reach, we support our clients in operating in a more sustainable, ethical way. Indeed, our latest strategy, launched in late 2021, identified decarbonisation as one of our five key focus sectors for the next chapter of our firm."
