Tozers LLP Wins ESG Initiative Award at the LawNet Awards 2025

Tozers have won the ESG Initiative Award at the LawNet Awards 2025! We’re incredibly proud of this achievement, which recognises the firm’s ongoing commitment to making a positive difference through our Environmental, Social, and Governance initiatives.

Tozers’ ESG strategy is centred on our desire to be a responsible business and integrates sustainability, social impact, and inclusion across all operations. This includes our ‘Positive Impact Programme’, Net Zero initiatives, and wellbeing and diversity programmes. These initiatives empower colleagues, support communities, reduce our environmental impact, and foster an inclusive, values-driven culture.

Growing a responsible business together

 At Tozers, our values shape every aspect of the way we operate, influencing both our internal culture and the relationships we build with clients and communities.

Our commitment to being a responsible business focuses on three key priorities:

• Fostering an inclusive workplace where everyone’s contribution is valued
• Working in partnership with communities to create meaningful social impact
• Reducing its environmental footprint through ongoing sustainable practices

Beyond establishing clear structures and responsibilities within the Partnership, Tozers sets defined goals to guide progress across each area, ensuring the firm remains accountable, focused, and committed to growing responsibly while delivering exceptional legal services.

The Awards

Representatives from the firm, Paul Kelly, Caroline Bateman, Mark Meleady, Amy Laver and Mai Mbye attended the awards evening, which took place at the Celtic Manor Resort on Friday 24 October, and took to the stage to receive the award. After being shortlisted for this award in 2024, this year’s win is a particularly meaningful milestone and underscores our ongoing progress and commitment to responsible business practices.

We’d also like to congratulate all of this year’s finalists; it’s a privilege to be recognised alongside peers who are setting the standard for excellence across the legal profession.
