Community

At Lane Neave we are proud to be able to support a variety of charitable causes and community projects throughout New Zealand, through fundraising, sponsorship and the provision of pro bono legal advice.

We have been long-term supporters of the Emergency Care Foundation and the Stroke Foundation.

In 2020 the Partners decided to “pause” our historic charitable programme and charged our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Committee with building a “ground up” programme of CSR that tapped into the social agenda identified by our people.

Through a multi-faceted process of engagement with staff, the Committee identified our key CSR values, with a refined focus on the need to advocate for:

  • environmental causes to protect our planet for present and future generations;
  • equal and open access to healthcare, and the promotion of health and wellbeing;
  • diversity and inclusion in the workplace; and
  • strong and connected communities.

We are currently in the process of identifying and reaching out to specific charitable organisations and community projects that embody the above and which we know we can help, either through fundraising activities or legal support.

In addition, we continue to support a wide range of organisations, including::

We offer our staff a day off every year to give their time to a charity that is close to their hearts, as well encouraging staff to be personally involved in their communities, whether that is through joining a Board, participating in fundraising or baking a cake – as we all know, every bit helps.
