Overview

Advancing sustainability and empowering communities for a better future

At JSM, we believe that our role extends beyond delivering legal services; we are committed to ensuring that we contribute to societal well-being and environmental sustainability. By aligning our professional practice with both global and local challenges, we aim to promote sustainability and social well-being in our work with the broader community.

JSM is committed to minimising the environmental impact of our operations. We prioritise sustainable products in our daily activities and participate in recycling programmes across Hong Kong. As part of our broader mandate to reduce our carbon footprint, we encourage our service providers to adopt sustainable practices and prioritise partnerships with organisations that share our commitment to ESG principles.

Our recycling initiatives, which initially focused on materials like paper, aluminium cans, and plastic bottles, have expanded to include glass and food waste recycling within our offices. In support of local renewable energy development, we also purchase renewable energy.

Our efforts have been recognised by Prince’s Building’s Building Management Office (BMO), and we hold certifications from the Wastewi$e, Energywi$e, and Hong Kong Green Organisation schemes. We also participate annually in Earth Hour, organised by WWF. These initiatives underline our dedication to cultivating a culture of sustainability both within our firm and in the wider community.

While we acknowledge that there is still significant progress to be made, we recognise the importance of long-term education for our team. Raising awareness and inspiring action will be crucial to ensuring a lasting positive impact on the environment and the community.

We are deeply committed to supporting the communities we serve through volunteer work and funding for local initiatives. Our focus is on key areas such as education, children’s well-being, and community development. Social responsibility is a core value that drives our actions and defines who we are.

Our team regularly participates in local volunteer initiatives, including food drives, meal distributions for the homeless, visits to elderly care centres, community clean-ups, and educational and mentorship programmes. We foster a culture of giving back by encouraging staff to engage with causes they are passionate about.

We collaborate with non-profit organisations and community groups to tackle pressing social challenges. These partnerships enable us to contribute to sustainable solutions that benefit the broader community.

Empowering communities through education is central to our mission. Our initiatives include workshops for underprivileged children, seminars, and the provision of resources aimed at increasing awareness of legal rights and responsibilities.

We recognise that our journey is ongoing, but we are driven by the belief that, by fostering a culture of awareness and action, we can contribute to a more fair and sustainable future. Our dedication to these principles is not just a reflection of our values but an integral part of our identity and mission as a responsible corporate citizen.
