Corporate Social Responsibility
What is Corporate Social Responsibility?
We don't just back ambitious SMEs. We also demonstrate our commitment to people, planet and local communities through our Corporate Social Responsibility principles.
From charity work to responsible business practices, we're proud to proactively comply with environmental regulations, champion great causes, reduce our environmental footprint and make our staff feel valued.
What we're doing for CSR
Reducing waste
We're committed to promote recycling and eliminating single-use plastic waste on-site.
Charity work
We support local and national charities with fundraising days, item donations and time.
Health and wellbeing
We make the wellbeing of our staff and stakeholders a top priority, including regular wellbeing resources and free fresh fruit and water bottles.
Inspiring the Next Generation: Shire’s Commitment to Youth Development
At Shire Leasing, we believe in investing in the future by empowering young people with the skills and confidence they need to succeed. Since 2017, our Legal and Compliance team has partnered with local schools and universities to deliver outreach programmes, work experience placements, and enrichment initiatives.
From mock interviews and CV workshops to hands-on legal projects, we aim to turn uncertainty into opportunity. Our involvement includes:
- Local Schools Outreach: Helping students prepare for interviews, understand commercial awareness, and master communication skills.
- University of Warwick Law Outreach: Supporting the Sutton Trust programme for disadvantaged students with week-long placements.
- Law Student Work Experience: Offering summer placements since 2014 to bridge the gap between theory and practice.
- Enrichment Programme: A six-month initiative for A-level students to gain real-world experience in law and business.
These programmes are more than learning opportunities, they are a chance to inspire ambition and shape futures.
